Lady Sarah Chatto keeps a low-key profile, quietly exhibiting her work as a talented artist, but she has been present for some of the biggest royal events over the years.
The King's cousin, who marks her 60th birthday on Wednesday 1 May, was among the guests at Charles's coronation last year and often joins the royals for Christmas in Sandringham and Balmoral for their summer break.
The daughter of the late Princess Margaret and photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones remained particularly close to her beloved aunt, Queen Elizabeth II, up until her death in September 2022.
Lady Sarah, who studied at the Camberwell School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools, has exhibiting her work at The Redfern Gallery under her maiden name since 1995.
She shares two sons with her husband and fellow artist, Daniel Chatto – Samuel and Arthur, born in 1996 and 1999 respectively.
