Lady Eliza Spencer – the niece of the late Princess Diana – has announced her engagement to South African businessman, Channing Millerd.
The blonde model is the twin sister of Amelia and the younger sibling of Kitty. Their father is Charles Spencer, the older brother of the late royal.
The Spencer siblings, including brother Louis, were raised in Cape Town, South Africa, out of the spotlight.

“Thank you for everything that you are, I truly am the luckiest man in this world to be able to call you mine”.
Lady Eliza Spencer and Channing Millerd, who has a son from a previous relationship, began dating in 2016. Her wedding will come hot on the heels of her sisters Amelia, who married in 2023, and Kitty, who wed in 2021.
Charles Spencer – the brother of the late Princess Diana – reportedly did not attend the nuptials over their “strained” relationship.
WHO IS HER FUTURE HUSBAND?
Lady Eliza Spencer’s future husband is a Cape Town businessman, whose current role is the COO of Marxhoff, the alcohol beverage company co-founded by Springboks Malcolm Marx and Steven Kitshoff.
Eliza and Channing are pals with the Springbok couples, as well as many others who follow them on Instagram.
He also manages Lala V, a luxury Provence rosé wine he co-founded with his now fiancée.
The couple has vacationed in beautiful destinations around the world, including Venice in Italy, the Maldives, Mallorca in Spain, and Austria.
They’re even considering a seaside wedding. Eliza told Hello! Magazine: “We love the idea of a destination wedding. “We feel drawn to Italy, especially somewhere by the ocean – that feels so romantic to us.”
