QUEEN OF GREEN

Amelia Windsor, the granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II's first cousin, opens up about her passion for sustainability as she begins a new monthly column for HELLO! on how to live a more eco-friendly life

When HELLO! catches up with our brand-new sustainability columnist, Amelia Windsor, she is preparing to attend the Serpentine Summer Party, widely viewed as one of London's society events of the season.

Dressed in a made-to-measure hot-pink tweed dress by London's Hax Tailoring and paisley magenta heels, accessorised by a glitzy bag made from crisp packets, the model and socialite becomes animated as she speaks about her outfit's sustainable credentials.

The look is borrowed from her own wardrobe: Amelia, who turns 30 next month, is rewearing a pair of chunky Michael Kors platforms that she donned for the V&A's summer party in 2023 and a night out in Mayfair in 2022.

It's small efforts to live sustainably that Amelia, who introduces herself to HELLO! as "Mel", will highlight in her monthly column, sharing her advice for living life through an eco-friendly lens.

FUTURE-PROOFED

"It's such an exciting space that's constantly evolving, and I love to find brands and companies that are truly paving the way forward," she says, adding: "I can't wait to share them with HELLO!'s readers each month."

Amelia has walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana, having also undertaken placements with the high-fashion brands Azzedine Alaïa and Bulgari while studying French and Italian at the University of Edinburgh.
