Princess Margaret's two children, David Armstrong-Jones and Lady Sarah Chatto mostly grew up out of the public eye, with the mum-of-two once famously quipping: "My children aren't royal, they just happen to have the Queen as an aunt."

David and Lady Sarah have applied this to their own children, who outside of special events, have next to nothing to do with their royal cousins. All four have pursued a wide range of careers from joining the Royal Marines to becoming a potter.

But what do you know of Margaret's four grandchildren? Read on to find out all you need to know about Samuel Chatto, Arthur Chatto, Charles Armstrong-Jones and Margarita Armstrong-Jones…

Samuel Chatto

Margaret's eldest grandson, Samuel Chatto, was born on 28 July 1996. The 27-year-old has followed in the family tradition of being crafty, as Samuel is a potter and creates his own ceramics, with his designs often going on display.

Samuel was Margaret's first grandchild

Speaking to the Mail about his passion, Samuel explained: "I've always had a strong affinity with creating objects, having spent much of my childhood crafting imagined landscapes and sculptural models, which naturally led me to clay during my later years at school."

However, ceramics wasn't his only love, as Samuel previously worked as a yoga instructor when he dated Sophie Pipe. The pair went their separate ways during the coronavirus lockdown, and in 2022, Samuel was confirmed to be in a relationship with Eleanor Ekserdjian, the daughter of an arts professor.

Arthur Chatto

Born on 5 February 1999, Arthur is the youngest son of Daniel and Lady Sarah Chatto. The 25-year-old has created quite a name for himself, as his shirtless photos on social media, before he shut his accounts down, would often create quite a stir.
