The 36th in line to the throne, who was holding a Burberry clutch, was joined by her 23-year-old sister, Lady Marina Windsor, and close pals Isabella and Adriana Samengo Turner.
Lady Amelia recently volunteered her waitressing skills at the Rook & Raven gallery in Fitzrovia, so let’s hope the birthday girl left a generous tip.

Dream job of the week
The woman who touched up Aidan Turner every morning believes she had the best job in television. Pamela Haddock, make-up artist on Poldark, says: ‘He is so beautiful that it was a pleasure. Obviously, I have to touch him, otherwise I can’t make him up.

‘Sometimes on camera I had to darken his bruising. Aidan is so attractive he even looks handsome with a black eye.’
Haddock, who has worked on Sherlock, admits her friends are jealous. ‘Every age group of women seem to have fallen in love with him. As a result, I had a certain status because I was looking after one of the most handsome men around, which is nice and did help get me up every morning.’
Carson's girl in the middle
Jim Carter, who plays the lugubrious manservant, towers over thespian wife Imelda Staunton and daughter Bessie Carter at the after-party for Bessie’s stage debut, The Roundabout
Carson, the put-upon butler from Downton Abbey, can lord it over his underlings — in his personal life, at least.
Jim Carter, who plays the lugubrious manservant, towers over thespian wife Imelda Staunton and daughter Bessie Carter at the after-party for Bessie’s stage debut, The Roundabout.
At 6ft 2in, Carter is more than a foot taller than his spouse, who is just under 5ft in her flip-flops. Bessie, 22, who recently graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, is 5ft 9in.
Judging by the rave reviews for her Park Theatre role as Communist Pamela Kettlewell in the J.B. Priestley play, Bessie looks set to follow in her parents’ footsteps — even if her feet are a bit too big to step into Imelda’s childsize shoes.
