After a quiet stretch on the royal wedding front, fans of the British monarchy have reason to celebrate once again. Over the weekend, Lady Marina Windsor — a more private, lesser-known relative of Princes William and Harry — revealed some joyful news: she’s engaged!
On June 8th, Lady Marina took to Instagram to share a glowing photo with her fiancé, Nico Macaulay, proudly displaying a stunning princess-cut engagement ring. The jewel appears to feature a striking onyx centerpiece surrounded by delicate diamonds — understated yet elegant, just like the bride-to-be. Her caption was simple but heartfelt: “Very happy!”
While Lady Marina may not be a household name, she shares royal lineage as the granddaughter of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, making her a third cousin to William and Harry. And though she has occasionally appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony for royal events, she isn’t considered a working royal — which means she tends to fly under the radar.

Marina and Nico, who have reportedly been together for two years, haven’t shared when they plan to tie the knot. Still, the online celebration has already begun, with relatives jumping in to congratulate the couple. Her sister, Lady Amelia Windsor — a model in her own right — chimed in enthusiastically with a “Yippeeee!” Meanwhile, their brother Edward Windsor jokingly wrote, “So the hazing begins,” adding a sibling’s cheeky touch to the occasion.
Other family members also sent their love: cousins Zenouska Mowatt and Flora Vesterberg left sweet, excited messages in the comments. And for followers who have kept up with Marina’s quieter presence over the years, the engagement comes after she recently shared travel highlights from a trip to Ireland.
