Samuel Chatto, a grandson of Princess Margaret, is reportedly engaged to artist Eleanor Ekserdjian after introducing her to the royal family at Christmas.
Samuel Chatto, 28, is with Edinburgh University graduate Eleanor Ekserdjian. He's known for his love of pottery and would much sooner be found in a ceramics studio than a royal event - so it's perhaps no wonder that Princess Margaret's grandson fell in love with a fellow artist, who he brought with him to Sandringham this year.
Samuel Chatto, 28, has since 2021 been seeing fellow Edinburgh University graduate Eleanor Ekserdjian, who is an accomplished painter and is not known to have any aristocratic or royal connections.

Kate Middleton, for instance, had to wait until after she became the Duchess of Cambridge and Sophie Rhys-Jones did not stay before she married Prince Edward and received the Countess of Wessex title. Samuel and Eleanor, also 28, are both passionate about their creative ventures. The grandchild of Lord Snowdon, Margaret's former husband, completed an apprenticeship in Japan under professional potter Yagi Akira just last year. And his partner is just as ardent about her work, having her pieces held in several private collections including the Redfern Gallery in London. Her parents are also in the field, with her father being renowned art historian Professor David Ekserdjian, who is married to Financial Times Art critic Susan Moore.
