Lady Sarah Chatto, the daughter of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, is the beloved and talented niece of Queen Elizabeth II. Not a shadow of an indiscretion or scandal has ever touched her. She has gone her way quietly, loyally and admirably. She is elegant, a very good painter, and I have liked her since I was a child.
Lady Sarah and I are of the same age - my 57th birthday was some days ago. Since childhood, we had similar hairstyles (when I watched Princess Anne's wedding, I had exactly the same chamber pot haircut like Sarah and LOVED it!) and similar fashion, and I have always admired her from afar.
When she watched the old home movies of her mother and aunt, she spoke with such love of both. She was a beloved grandchild of the Queen Mother, and that's saying something. The Queen Mother seemed to prefer sometimes the children "close to the throne", e.g. Charles over his siblings. But in the case of Sarah - she was and is simply beloved by everybody. I love her style, her hats and skirts, her lack of pretense.
I wish her all the best in her family life, her art and everything else.

Happy Birthday to you both  She is lovely and a class act right down the line. I love her style too, simple elegance, no pretense or over the top preening for attention. I'm a total sugar for her

I'm a total sugar for her  I agree - she’s a class act. Classic, elegant style, very low-key and I love that she’s so wonderfully close to her aunt. The Queen needs people like her and Sophie around right now.

Ooopsi, very dear Co-Dishers, I didn't mean to fish for gratulations but now that they come, I appreciate them very much. Thank you! And I'm glad others like Lady Sarah, too.

I also have always had a soft spot for Sarah. So happy birthday to her....and to you too Carreen.. By all accounts she must be an incredibly kind and lovely person. She didn't inherit her mother and father's great handsomeness and beauty, but she didn't seem to have inherited their demons either, only the talent and the charm. And while not pretty in the current view of beauty, I think she is attractive, she has a great figure, impeccable taste and this very lovely aura around her - IMO much more fetching than mere beauty...

Princess Charlotte looks so much like her it’s uncanny.
I’m amazed that with the hate between her parents and public scandals, she turned out so well. I can only think her aunt and maternal granny were a huge support to her. No idea of her relations with her fathers family.
She’s one of my favorites.

I don't follow her that much, but it seems she got the best of both parents, she has a good bit of the "typical Windsor look". She is beautiful, but in a very modest way.

I agree. I definitely see her father in her face - and she is very lovely. But I confess I don’t really think Charlotte looks like her. /ducks/

So funny, I don’t understand how one can’t see Sarah Chatto. I think Sara and Charlotte have the exact same unique look. Anyway, Happy Birthday to both of them!

I can see Sarah, but more in the past than in this particular picture of her. Charlotte is very William in her birthday picture this year.

Excellent summation of how I feel, and wonderful tribute to her! I'd love it if one day I were described thusly.
