Princess Margaret's Daughter Joins 100th-Birthday Events for Queen Elizabeth II
Lady Sarah Chatto, Princess Margaret's daughter, joined King Charles III for centenary events marking the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's birth. She greeted the King and Queen Camilla at a private view of Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style at the King's Gallery in Buckingham Palace, then attended a second event at the British Museum.
King's Gallery private view
The private view opened 24 hours of centenary celebrations, with Chatto among the royals present. She was the only non-working member of the royal family to attend the British Museum event the following day, placing her alongside the King, Queen and other senior royals during the commemorations.
Chatto, born on 1st May 1964, is the second child and only daughter of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, who became the 1st Earl of Snowdon after his marriage to Princess Margaret. At her birth, she was 7th in line to the British throne; she is now 29th in line.
British Museum and Windsor
Her appearance at the museum followed an Easter Matins service at St George's Chapel, Windsor, where she joined the King, Queen and other senior royals just weeks before the centenary celebrations. That sequence shows a limited but visible role at formal royal occasions, especially those tied to Queen Elizabeth II and the wider family calendar.
Chatto spent much of her childhood at Kensington Palace with her brother David, Viscount Linley, and later became an artist, while he became a furniture maker. Princess Margaret's divorce came when Chatto was 14, after two turbulent years of separation between her parents, a period that shaped the private family backdrop to the public role she now plays at rare royal gatherings. She celebrated her 62nd birthday on 1 May 2026.
