Princess Margaret’s grandson, Samuel Chatto, arrives at King Charles’s coronation with a splash

Written by user

Prince Louis, Prince George and Princess Charlotte stole the show at King Charles III’s coronation ceremony, but they weren’t the only grandchildren to make a grand entrance.

Princess Margaret’s grandson, Samuel Chatto, attended the historic event — and he got in well, according to social media watchdogs.

Lady Sarah Chatto’s son and her husband Daniel arrived at Westminster Abbey in formal attire, complete with a burgundy tie. He was also photographed with his well-dressed father after the service.

Samuel, 26, is 29th in line to the throne. His mother is the only daughter of the late Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones.

Margaret was Queen Elizabeth’s sister, making Lady Sarah the late monarch’s niece.

After Margaret died in 2002, Queen Elizabeth became a ‘surrogate mother’ for Lady Sarah, and the couple became very close.

Sarah has worked as a painter under the professional name Sarah Armstrong-Jones and has exhibited in many galleries including The Redfern Gallery in London.

Her husband Daniel is also an artist, with the couple passing their creative genes to tough son Samuel, who is also in the art world.

Samuel attended Eton College before transferring to the University of Edinburgh where he studied art history.

He went on to work in the creative industry, working at an art market after graduating before becoming a craftsman and eventually opening his own ceramics studio.

Samuel has shared multiple photos of himself working in his studio on Instagram, where he has become a royal heartthrob.

“You seem to be quite talented. And may I add that you’re pretty handsome and charming too,’ one admirer swooned.

“My husband!” another wishful statement.

Unfortunately for that playful fan, Samuel is reportedly dating vegan blogger Sophie Pipe.

Although the Chattos are not part of the core working royal family, they often attend major royal functions such as Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, Royal Ascot and the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Samuel also has a younger brother, Arthur, 24.

Like his big brother, Arthur is also a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, but has not followed his other relatives into the art world.
