Prince Harry's cousin Lady Eliza tells of her excitement at his arrival back in Britain

Princess Diana's niece is keen to build on a family bond with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now they're back in the UK.

The Duke's cousin Lady Eliza Spencer, daughter of Diana's brother Charles Spencer, spoke at the official launch of her rosé brand Lala V at Knightsbridge drinks retailer Hackstons on Wednesday night - just hours after Harry and Meghan landed in Birmingham.

Asked about the Sussex's landing back in Britain, the aristocrat told the Mirror : "Absolutely, it's exciting! We would love to be able to find some time to visit."

Lady Eliza, 34, has followed in the footsteps of Harry's wife Meghan, 45, by launching a rosé brand. The Duchess of Sussex released her own £22 Napa Valley rosé wine , as part of her As Ever lifestyle brand, in July last year on what which would have been her mother-in-law Diana's 64th birthday. Asked if she will swap wine making tips with Meghan, Lady Eliza teased: "Maybe!"

Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, stayed at the Spencer's family seat, home to Eliza's dad Charles Spencer, during a trip to the UK last month and it is understood Harry has a close relationship with his uncle. The couple and their children Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, visited Princess Diana's grave, which is on the estate, during the visit.

Lady Eliza, who is engaged to tech executive Channing Millerd, 35, was aged just five when her aunt died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

She and Channing got engaged earlier this year. Earlier this month she posed in a swimsuit with the words 'Future Mrs M' emblazoned across her back and the couple are now searching for a suitable wedding venue, with Lady Eliza admitting Italy is among the possible contenders.

The model, whose mother is Earl Spencer's first wife, former fashion model Victoria Aitken, told how she named her wine brand Lala V after her childhood nickname Lala, the initial of both her middle name and her mother's first name and the French word "vie" - meaning life in English.

Lady Eliza was among guests at both Harry and Meghan's wedding in 2018 and William and Kate's nuptials in 2011. She told how she is making plans for her own big day, which could finally unite warring brothers William and Harry.

Asked if she will invite both of them to the event, she said family members will definitely be on the guestlist. Asked if it will be a big wedding, Channing added: "We're still in the infancy of the planning of it, so we have no idea what it's going to look like at the moment."

Giving a speech at the event, Lady Eliza said: "It's incredibly special to see something that started as a little dream between the two of us come to life. Lala V really came from our shared love of rosé, but also everything that surrounds it - travelling, discovering people, places and food, long lunches in the sunshine and those moments when you look around the table at people you love.

"We wanted to bottle a little bit of that feeling. It creates something that felt elegant and special and still fun, relaxed and never too serious. The name itself is incredibly personal to me. When we were little, my little brother, Samuel, couldn't pronounce Eliza, so he called me Lala.
