Lady Eliza Spencer channels Princess Diana at The Chelsea Flower Show

Lady Eliza Spencer and Lady Amelia Spencer looked stunning in summer dresses at the Chelsea Flower Show preview on Monday.

While Lady Amelia, 30, chose a floating, floral number from Sydney fashion brand Zimmermann, her twin opted for a form-fitting turtleneck dress reminiscent of one worn by the sisters’ late aunt, Princess Diana, in the 1980s. .

Lady Eliza’s long-sleeved pink dress was created by Italian-born, London-based designer Alessandra Rich, who is known for her feminine fashion with a twist.

Lady Eliza’s dress shared a strong resemblance to the one worn by Princess Diana during her visit to Australia’s Freemantle Women’s Hospital on April 7, 1983. Lady Eliza’s dress fell just below the knee and had a fitted waist.

Three weeks after her South African wedding, Lady Amelia looked just as fashionable with a bold red handbag and matching heels.

She completed the look with gold earrings and a dab of red lipstick.

The sun-kissed sisters both opted for natural makeup and wore their blond hair combed back.

Lady Eliza and Lady Amelia weren’t the only royals to preview the famous flower show, held annually at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.

Buckingham Palace has announced that the King and Queen will be in attendance, along with the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.

And fans of the royal family were delighted when the Princess of Wales made a surprise appearance at the first children’s picnic in the show’s history.

Kate met young people from 10 schools taking part in the RHS school gardening campaign as they sat down to eat before visiting three of this year’s show gardens with them.

On her first visit to the world-famous horticultural show since 2019, the future Queen and the children took part in a bug hunt, helped plan a home-grown meal and discovered how gardens can support well-being – something the Princess has an emphasis on laid for several years.

In 2019 Kate even designed her own garden to be in the showcase, the Back To Nature Garden.

The garden, which Kate hoped would inspire families to “get outside” and “enjoy nature,” featured a tree house, waterfall, rustic den and campfire, as well as tree stumps, stepping stones and a hollow log where children could play on.

Touchingly, Kate also made Diana a part of the garden, including the late princess’ favorite forget-me-nots in the design.

Lady Eliza paired her polka dot dress with gold earrings. Her hair was brushed back from her face and she wore natural make-up

Lady Amelia, who got married in South Africa earlier this month, added a lick of red lipstick to complete her stylish look

This year’s exhibition includes a garden called ‘The Royal Tribute Garden’, created to commemorate the life of Queen Elizabeth II.

According to the Royal Horticultural Society’s website, the garden provides an opportunity for ‘contemplation within the show grounds’ and combines the favorite plants of the late Queen and the new King in pale pink and white on the one hand and purple and blue on the other.

A life-size topiary display of the late Queen’s pony, Emma, ​​is also featured in this year’s show, while the “RHS and Eastern Eye Garden of Unity” showcases the “richness in the unity of cultures, traditions and backgrounds’.

• The Chelsea Flower Show runs from Tuesday, May 23 through Saturday, May 27.
