Eliza, who is a cousin of both Prince William and Prince Harry, took to Instagram to reveal the happy news and show off her new ring after long-term boyfriend Channing Millerd popped the question on the Greek island of Santorini. The 33-year-old, whose father is Diana's brother Charles Spencer, has enjoyed a 10-year romance with Channing, whom she met at a dinner party in South Africa.

Meanwhile, older sister Lady Kitty Spencer, 34, who married 66-year-old businessman Michael Lewis in a lavish ceremony in Italy in 2021, added: "So happy for you and love you both very much @elizavspencer @channingmillerd."

He truly is my best friend. We understand each other so well, and no matter what life brings, we're always there for one another." She added: "I absolutely believe he's The One – our bond is built on so much trust, laughter and shared values." Eliza and twin Amelia, as well as older sister Kitty, are all models. They, along with older brother Louis, are the children of Earl Spencer and his first wife, Victoria Lockwood. The twins were born in 1992, grew up in South Africa and were just five when their late aunt Diana died.

Speaking about Diana's death in 1997, Eliza said: "As a child, I realised the enormity of the loss for my father and family. It was only later that I came to understand the significance of the loss of her as a figure in the world." In 2023, Amelia married her long-term boyfriend Greg Mallett in a mountain-top ceremony in Cape Town, surrounded by her siblings. And last year, the twins turned out to support older cousin William at a fundraiser for the London Air Ambulance. Meanwhile, Kitty read psychology at the University of Cape Town and has modelled for brands including Dolce & Gabbana, for which she has been a muse, and Bvlgari. She also scored invites to the wedding of her cousins William and Harry, and her Instagram account shows her at fashion shows in cities such as London and Milan.

‘Mamma Mia!' fans can enjoy a Mediterranean pre-theater dinner this summer
'Mamma Mia!' fans are eagerly awaiting its return to Broadway. When it arrives, they'll have the option of visiting a nearby restaurant for a Mediterranean pre-theater dinner. Coming back to thrill audiences this summer for a limited engagement, the popular play takes place on a made-up Greek island and centers on a woman named Sophie. It's the day before her wedding, and she has aspirations to have her father walk her down the aisle. There's a twist, though. She doesn't know who her dad is. Hilarity, heartfelt moments, and musical numbers ensue. First appearing on Broadway in 2001, this play has mesmerized and entertained countless people for more than two decades. It's returning (beginning with previews on August 2) with an opening night of August 14 at the Winter Garden Theatre. It will run until February 1, 2026. If you have tickets, instead of simply strolling into the theatre with a rumbly, empty stomach, you can stop by IRIS, Chef John Fraser's Greek concept in Midtown, for a curated, themed, pre-theater dinner. Located within a five-minute walk of the Winter Garden Theatre, IRIS will be offering a three-course pre-theater 'Mamma Mia!'-themed menu for $60 per person. Starters include a Greek wedge salad with baby iceberg lettuce, chickpeas, and a feta-dill dressing, spiced lamb flatbread with chili, sumac, and cilantro, or grilled octopus with antep chili-tomato spice, kumquat spoon sweet. Entrees include wild mushroom pastitsio, grilled branzino, or saffron-yogurt roasted chicken. Desserts designed to be shared with the whole table include pistachio baklava and Aegean sweets. This theater-themed menu features more than mouthwatering food. It also features a trio of tiny 'Mamma Mia'-themed martinis priced at $28 for all three, or $10 each. These include Donna's Martini, made with Perry's Tot Gin, Roots Mastic Vintage Strength, and olive bitters; Sophie's Martini, a Pistachio Lemon Drop; and Rosie and Tanya's Martini, a take on a strawberry rhubarb daiquiri. So, if you're planning to attend "Mamma Mia!" on Broadway this summer, make a reservation at IRIS for an epic Greek feast that will prepare you for the music and wonder to come. You'll be glad you did and so will your stomach.

Woman's 'dream proposal' overshadowed by act caught on camera
A woman was left gobsmacked when her fiancé proposed to her while on holiday in Santorini, but the special moment was unfortunately ruined by one bizarre act caught on camera Many people have an idea of their dream proposal, whether they want it to be a huge event with hundreds of people watching, or a small affair between them and their partner. No matter how your proposal happens, you want it to go off without a hitch, as it will be one of the most important days of your life. In this day and age, it's become commonplace to film events like proposals to look back on in the future, but one couple had their touching engagement video ruined after a bizarre act was caught on camera that overshadowed the whole thing. The couple were on holiday in the Greek island of Santorini when the man discreetly set up his phone to record himself as he got down on one knee in front of his girlfriend to ask her to marry him. Sharing the video on TikTok, the touching clip begins with the man holding out the ring to the woman, who is visibly emotional as she can't believe her "dream proposal" is coming true. But just when the man is about to put the ring on his fiancée's finger, one thing overshadows the special moment - as a fellow tourist walks directly in front of the camera, blocking the proposal from view. The unknowing woman walks in front of the camera and points out to the ocean in the background, shortly before she is joined by her husband, who stands munching on what appears to be a cereal bar. Writing on the video hilariously states: "Proposal 10/10, timing 0/10, memory: priceless." And in the caption, the couple added: "Our dream Santorini proposal accidentally turned into a Snickers ad. You couldn't script something this unexpectedly hilarious." Commenters on the post were furious on the couple's behalf, with many saying they were "praying" the video was fake because they couldn't believe the tourists would be so oblivious. One person said: "Honestly, I'm praying this is a joke because I'm so frustrated right now." Another added: "Even if the phone wasn't there, standing that close to a couple that is obviously having a moment (especially one as big as a proposal) is a bit out of touch. And being unaware of your surroundings is just ridiculous." Not everyone was furious with the tourists, however. Some came to their defence, claiming they were simply "minding their own business" and probably didn't mean to ruin the happy couple's video. Someone argued: "Everyone in the comments is angry about people who are in a public place, minding their business. The older couple is just enjoying their holiday." As someone else wrote: "I bet those poor people felt so bad once they figured it out."
