Her Majesty had a large family, and growing up, the monarch also had a younger sister, Princess Margaret.

The Queen was said to "adore" Sarah, and only allowed her niece to accompany her to her favourite hideaway, Craigowan Lodge, in Aberdeenshire.
Sarah was a chief bridesmaid at King Charles' wedding to Princess Diana and is a godmother to their son Prince Harry. She was also selected to act as a godmother to Prince Edward's daughter Louise and the Duke of Gloucester's daughter Rose.
