Lady Amelia Spencer has wished her twin sister, Lady Eliza Spencer, a happy birthday with a sweet Instagram tribute and a swathe of previously unseen family portraits.
The sibling duo, who are the children of Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, and nieces of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, celebrated their 33rd birthday on Thursday.
“Happy birthday to my soulmate!” Lady Amelia wrote on her Instagram.
“Thank you for being my better half and my entire universe. My biggest gift in life is you! Thank you for being my number one forever and always, and since before we entered this world.”
Her sister, Lady Eliza, was quick to comment under the gushing post with an equally sweet message for her twin: “My world. Happy happy birthday, my everything.”
Lady Amelia’s post was full of sweet snaps of the twins throughout the years, but one particular photo stood out among the rest.
