Lady Sarah Chatto is one of the more elusive British royals. Her public appearances are usually reserved only for the biggest of occasions, though they tend to happen without fanfare.
Earlier this month, she was seen at the National Service of Thanksgiving in London at the St Paul’s Cathedral, where she was seated next to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. She then graced the traditional events on Ladies Day at Royal Ascot on June 16, her attendance a welcome presence for the royal clan and fans alike.
But who is Lady Sarah Chatto and why is she beloved by many? Here’s what we know …
She’s a low-key royal
Regardless of her lineage, she remains a member of the royal family who prefers to keep a low profile. She is “very unassuming, shy and almost embarrassed, with no grandeur at all”, an acquaintance once remarked to British media.
