On the website of the law firm Doughtry Street Chambers’, for whom she works for, her name now appears ‘Amal Clooney’.

However it is believed that the barrister will be using the surname ‘Alamuddin-Clooney’ in her personal life.

The newlywed was seen arriving in Athens, Greece as she got back to work after her honeymoon with the actor, most of which was spent in Oxfordshire.

Before heading to the UK, George and Amal spent some of their honeymoon in the Seychelles, on recommendation of George’s close friend Brad Pitt.

The couple are also rumoured to be buying a house in the area, as George prepares to live in the UK so Amal can continue her work in London.
