Just two months after Princess Beatrice announced her engagement to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, another member of the British Royal Family has announced they're set to say 'I Do' as well.

Flora Alexandra Ogilvy, who is Queen Elizabeth's cousin's granddaughter, announced her engagement to former Swedish hockey player Tim Vesterberg via Instagram.

The 25-year-old shared a photo taken by her photographer father, James Ogilvy, captioning the post: "We're engaged! My beloved Timothy asked me to marry him and we're blissfully happy."

Tim shared the same sweet shot, which shows off the beautiful diamond engagement ring with Flora's hand on the 26-year-old's chest.

"We are engaged! Min älskling always and forever," the groom-to-be captioned the shot, using Swedish to say "my darling".

After hanging up his hockey stick, the sports star became a financier and is now based in London.

It's not known how long the couple have been dating for but news of their romance first broke in July this year, in an article which states Flora was single and too busy to mingle last year, suggesting a whirlwind romance.

Flora, who is 56th in-line-to-the-throne is a member of the Royal Family through her dad's side.

James Ogilvy is the eldest son of Sir Angus Ogilvy and Princess Alexandra of Kent, the Queen's first cousin.

This presumably would mean Flora's nuptials will be as lavish as Lady Gabriella Windsor's big day earlier this year.

Ella, as she's know to her friends, is the daughter of Prince Michael of Kent - Princess Alexandra's brother and also a cousin of Queen Elizabeth.
