At a thanksgiving service at St Paul’s to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday, she dazzled in head-to-toe Chanel, looking every inch the chic and refined modern Royal.

But away from the spotlight, Lady Amelia Windsor is a cigarette-smoking, cleavage-flashing party girl who could give Prince Harry a run for his money for the title of the wildest member of ‘the Firm’.

Snaps from social media accounts show that the 20-year-old granddaughter of the Duke of Kent prefers completely different parties to the one to which was she was invited by the Queen.

During a trip to India, Lady Amelia puffs on a cigarette as she cavorts on a beach with a group of friends.

In a second shot taken on the same night, she is seen bending forwards and inadvertently exposing her chest as she parties the night away.

And in another snap taken by a friend during the Indian adventure, the young Royal – showing off her figure in a tiny, coral-coloured bikini – drinks a fizzy drink through a straw.

A different trip took her to Greece where she pulled a face as a party chum took a snap of her in a bikini top and sarong while grasping a cigarette.

Such frolics are perhaps not surprising for a young lady whose Instagram profile motto used to be ‘Go hard or go home’.

She shows more decorum on a visit to Paris, where she is pictured in a fluffy bathroom robe with her hair up, and sipping tea from a cup and saucer.

Amelia’s trips clearly help her relax from her studies at the University of Edinburgh – though she has done her fair share of partying there too.

She was once spotted on St Patrick’s Day dressed in olive green with a green woolly hat, and downing pints of beer with friends.

Lady Amelia, who is 36th in line to the throne, has seen her profile rise significantly after being labelled ‘the most beautiful member of the Royal Family’ by society magazine Tatler when she appeared on its cover in April.

Three years ago, the younger daughter of the Earl and Countess of St Andrews made a huge impression at the annual debutantes’ ball in Paris, dressed in a dramatic Elie Saab gown that won her significant praise from fashion critics.

Yet while the then 18-year-old didn’t put a foot wrong at the prestigious event, behind the scenes she let her hair down.

In a picture from the evening, Amelia is seen in a lavatory with her haute couture dress bunched up around her.

Luckily for this fun-loving Lady, the party days are far from over – she has three years left at university, where she is reading French and Italian.

She may be 36th in line to the throne and hailed as the most beautiful royal but Lady Amelia Windsor has to earn her keep just like the rest of us.

According to the Evening Standard, the 20-year-old granddaughter of the Queen's cousin offered her waitressing services at the Rook & Raven gallery in Fitzrovia on Tuesday night for the launch of Sunsoul, a new natural energy drink.

The tipple is the brainchild of Sir Richard Branson's entrepreneurial children, Sam and Holly Branson, who are great friends of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

She was spotted helping her friends out by handing out canapes including tuna carpaccio at one of the events.

The bash came a week after she attended a swanky handbag launch at Kensington Palace's Orangery.

And just a few days ago, the Duke of Kent’s granddaughter joined the Queen's extended family for a celebration of her 90th birthday at St Paul's cathedral.

The stylish star, who is studying at Edinburgh University, lived up to expectations in head-to-toe Chanel. She paired an elegant front-pleated dress with tweed sleeves, skyscraper shoes and a quilted yellow bag. The ensemble cost £8,000.

The young royal shot to global fame in April, when she appeared on the cover of Tatler magazine, who hailed her 'the world's most beautiful royal', and instantly became the darling of high society.

This isn't the first time that Lady Amelia (pictured at the queen's 90th) has hinted at a working life revealing that she had already done an internship with Chanel in Paris

Lady Amelia also recently revealed that she had already done an internship with Chanel in Paris.

She said of her time with the fashion house: 'It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. To see how much goes into making a fashion business is quite exciting.'

But Lady Amelia is no mere vacuous socialite in the making. On the contrary. She is vocal about her love for Latin, saying she is 'crazy' about it after studying it for A-level and is rather bookish in nature.

She's currently reading French and Italian at Edinburgh University. Indeed, a friend of hers insists that, despite appearances, she's 'quite quiet'.

Tatler magazine even dubbed the brunette 'the most beautiful member of the Royal Family'

Religion was an important part of the children's formative years, and both Amelia's elder siblings converted to Catholicism, ruling themselves out of the line of succession, allowing Amelia to become 36th in line to the throne.

Amelia studied art history, French and Latin for A-level. But that Windsor love for glamour kicked in at an early age.

As a teenager at St Mary's Ascot — the Berkshire boarding school that educated Princess Caroline of Monaco and Lady Antonia Fraser — Amelia had already announced her fervour for fashion. She now looks set for a career in the industry, with a bit of modelling thrown in, and she's happy to earn her keep along the way.
