Lady Amelia Windsor

Lady Amelia's father, the Earl of St Andrews, lost his succession rights to the British throne according to the Act of Settlement 1701 as a Consequence of marrying a Catholic.

Although her grandmother, the Duchess of Kent, had converted to Catholicism in 1994, it did not remove her grandfather, Prince Edward, from the line of succession as the duchess was Anglican at the time of their wedding in 1961 and the Act of Settlement 1701 did not take into consideration a person married to someone in the line of succession converting to Catholicism.

Lady Amelia Sophia Theodora Mary Margaret Windsor (born 24 August 1995) is an English fashion model and a member of the British royal family.

As a daughter of an earl, she is free to retain the title of lady.

She is currently 43rd in the line of succession to the British throne, as of May 2023.

She is a granddaughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, so she is consequently a great-great-granddaughter of George V and Queen Mary; she is a second cousin once removed of Charles III.

Amelia Sophia Theodora Mary Margaret Windsor was born on 24 August 1995 at the Rosie Hospital in Cambridge.

She was christened in December 1995 at Chapel Royal, St James's Palace.

She is the youngest child of George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, and his wife, Sylvana Tomaselli.

Her paternal grandfather, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, is a first cousin of Elizabeth II and her father is a second cousin of Charles III.

Her paternal great grandparents were Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, a granddaughter of George I of Greece and first cousin of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Her paternal great-great grandparents were George V and Mary of Teck.

Her paternal grandmother, Katharine, Duchess of Kent, is the daughter of Sir William Worsley, 4th Baronet.

Lady Amelia descends maternally from the Austrian Tomaselli family.

She is the younger sister of Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick, and Lady Marina Windsor.

She is a third cousin of William, Prince of Wales, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.

Her uncle, Lord Nicholas Windsor, converted to Catholicism in 2001, which removed him from the line of succession.

In 2013 she was presented to society at le Bal des débutantes.

Lady Amelia is signed with Storm Model Management.

In 2013, the Succession to the Crown Act was passed, giving Lady Amelia's father succession rights once again.

Lady Amelia's two older siblings were confirmed in the Catholic faith and therefore lost their succession rights.

She is therefore the only one among her siblings to maintain a place in the line of succession.
