The city is often referred to as the Mother of
South Africa because it gave birth to civilization. Interestingly, in March 2023 HELLO! magazine confirmed that Lady Amelia
Spencer -- who's a niece of the late Princess Diana -- recently married her
longtime love on a mountaintop near Cape Town in South Africa. "It means
so much to get married here," Amelia -- who's the daughter of Charles, 9th
Earl Spencer and his first wife, former model Victoria Aitken -- told the
magazine. "Growing up here together for the last 14 years, all of mine and (my husband's) happiest times as a couple are here in Cape Town. It's
even more special now." Cape Town is a city that has it all, not just
