The Lady Sarah Frances Elizabeth Chatto, née Armstrong-Jones (born 1 May 1964), is the only daughter of the 1st Earl of Snowdon and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, the second daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. She is 20th in the line of succession to the thrones of the 16 Commonwealth realms; at the time of her birth, she was seventh in line. She is the only niece of Queen Elizabeth II and the youngest grandchild of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
Early life
Lady Sarah was born on 1 May 1964 at Kensington Palace in London. She attended the Camberwell School of Art and Middlesex Polytechnic (Middlesex University since 1992) and is a professional painter, represented by the Redfern Gallery. She is also Vice President of The Royal Ballet, an appointment she accepted in 2004, following the example of her mother, who was a patron of The Royal Ballet.
She and her brother, Viscount Linley, have attracted far less media attention than their cousins, the Queen's children, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. Their mother interfered very little in their professional and personal lives. Queen Elizabeth II keeps in close contact with Lady Sarah and Lord Linley; they often accompany her on family holidays and they and their children are always invited to Royal events. They usually spend Christmas with the Royal Family at Sandringham.[1]
Marriage and issue
Lady Sarah married Daniel Chatto on 14 July 1994, the marriage being officiated by the Reverend Chad Varah at the church of St Stephen Walbrook. The couple had met while working on the film "Heat and Dust" in India. The bride's wedding gown was designed by Jasper Conran.[2] Her bridesmaids were Lady Frances Armstrong-Jones, Zara Phillips, and Tara Noble.
The couple have two children:
