The young generation of British royals you've never even heard of
11 British royal Millennials and Gen-Z in line to the throne
The royal family – in particular, the line of succession – extends far beyond the famous royal faces we hear about daily. Did you know there's a whole generation of Millennial and Gen Z royal family members out there that you've most likely never heard of? Here are a few regal names to take note of...
Arthur Chatto
Who is he? Arthur Chatto, brother of Sam Chatto, is the youngest son of Lady Sarah Chatto and David Chatto. 20-year-old Arthur – or 'Art' as he likes to go by on Instagram – is the grandson of the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret. Lady Sarah Chatto is her only daughter.
Where in the line of succession is he? 26th
What does he do? Art is in his third year at Edinburgh University, studying History of Art. By the looks of Instagram, he's rather outdoorsy, enjoying mountain climbing and diving.
Charles Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley
Who is he? Charles Armstrong-Jones, who's also known by his courtesy title Viscount Linley, is a descendant of the Queen's sister, Princess Margaret. He and sister Margarita are the children of Margaret's only son, David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon.
Where in the line of succession is he? 22nd
What does he do? 20-year-old Charles has just started his third year at Loughborough University studying Product Design Engineering, according to his LinkedIn profile. The former Eton student recently made a public appearance with his great aunt, Queen Elizabeth, at a church service in Balmoral, Scotland.
Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones
Who is she? The younger sister of Charles, 17-year-old Margarita is the only granddaughter of Princess Margaret, the Queen's sister. Margarita is daughter of furniture maker David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon and Serena Armstrong-Jones, Countess of Snowdon.
Where in the line of succession is she? 23rd. Margarita and her brother come just after Zara Tindall's daughters, Mia and Lena.
What does she do? Margarita is only 17, so she's not even reached university age yet, never mind career. But on the bio of her (private) Instagram account, she links to a jewellery page, Matita Jewellery, which is described as "hand made silver jewellery". So it seems the creative genes have been passed down from her dad.
Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick
Who is he? Edward Windsor, or Eddy Downpatrick as he's known professionally, is a royal family member stemming from Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent. Prince Edward (Eddy's grandfather) is the son of Queen Elizabeth's uncle, Prince George, making him the Queen's cousin. Prince Edward's eldest son, George Windsor, is Eddy's dad. Eddy is also the godson of Princess Diana.
Where in the line of succession is he? He's not. He was excluded for becoming a Roman Catholic.
What does he do? A former financial analyst, 30-year-old Eddy is now a fashion designer, having founded his own label, Fidir. The menswear brand is inspired by the landscape of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, which Eddy loves. "Nowhere else in the world makes me quite so misty eyed. Rarefied light… brooding gloom… there’s a lot of the sensorial to be taken from that," he once said in an interview.
Lady Marina Windsor
Who is she? Lady Marina Windsor is the 27-year-old sister of Eddy Downpatrick and Lady Amelia Windsor.
Where in the line of succession is she? Just like her brother, Eddy, Marina was removed from the line of succession for being Catholic. She was confirmed in the Catholic church (following her mother's faith) in 2008.
What does she do? The former Cambridge University student keeps a low profile in comparison to her siblings. While she once modelled in Tatler (back in 2010), it's been reported that she didn't want to pursue fashion as a career, instead expressing interest in foreign diplomacy.
Lady Amelia Windsor
Who is she? 24-year-old Lady Amelia Windsor is another granddaughter of Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, who's the Queen's first cousin. She is the youngest of three, and a daughter of George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, and Sylvana Tomaselli, a Canadian academic and historian.
Where in the line of succession is she? 39th – and she's the only one of her siblings to be in line to the throne.
What does she do? Lady Amelia Windsor is perhaps the most high profile of this young royal bunch. The model has 80k followers on Instagram, and has walked in fashion shows for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana. The University of Edinburgh graduate is fluent in Italian (È moda, cercala) and has also tried her hand at fashion design with a footwear and accessories collaboration with Penelope Chilvers and Warchild.
Colombus Taylor
Who is he? Colombus' royal heritage reads like this: his mum (Lady Helen Taylor) is the granddaughter of Prince George, Duke of Kent, who was Queen Elizabeth's uncle.
Where in the line of succession is he? 44th
What does he do? 25-year-old Columbus occasionally attends events like the Many Hopes Spring Ball and the Yorkville Ball at The Union Club (both in New York). Further information is unclear.
Cassius Taylor
Who is he? Brother of Colombus, 23-year-old Cassius Taylor has the same elaborate royal family tree. Cassius Taylor is the son of artists Timothy Taylor and Lady Helen Taylor, whose father is the Queen's cousin, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.
Where in the line of succession is he? 45th
What does he do? Following in his parents' footsteps, Cassius is into the arts. Having studied Arts Management (specialising in music and art business), at Goldsmiths, University of London, Cassius is now looking for a job in the music industry. And by the looks of his Instagram account, Cassius is friends with people in high places, e.g. Rafferty Law (Jude Law's son).
Flora Ogilvy
Who is she? Flora's dad, James Ogilvy, is the son of Princess Alexandra, Queen Elizabeth's first cousin. Princess Alexandra is another child of the Queen's uncle, Prince George.
Where in the line of succession is she? 56th. Although if she was born now Flora would be 55th, seeing as she's older than her brother. But as the archaic rules of succession which prioritised men over women regardless of birth order were still in force when Flora was born, she was bumped down following the birth of her brother Alexander in 1996.
What does she do? 25-year-old Flora, like many of her royal relatives, works in the art world. After studying History of Art (a royal favourite) at Bristol University between 2013 - 2016, she set up her own company, Arteviste, which "creates editorial, video and events-based content focused on the contemporary art market" according to LinkedIn. Flora credits herself as a writer, curator and speaker in her specialist area of art.
Alexander Ogilvy
Who is he? Alexander is the related to the royals via Queen' Elizabeth's uncle, Prince George. George (who was also the Duke of Kent) had a daughter named Princess Alexandra, and she is Alexander's grandmother.
Where in the line of succession is he? A far-fetched 55th.
What does he do? 23-year-old Alexander keeps a low profile. But it seems, from his sister Flora's social media, that he likes to travel and he lives in the US at the moment.
Zenouska Mowatt
Who is she? Zenouska is the daughter of Marina Ogilvy, who is the daughter of Princess Alexandra, another of the Queen's first cousins.
Where in the line of succession is she? 59th in line to the throne.
What does she do? The 29-year-old royal relative lives in London and is head of marketing at Halcyon Days, a luxury retailer selling home wear, jewellery and accessories. By the looks of her Instagram account, Zenouska has a love of fashion, regularly showing off outfits by designers like Mary Katrantzou, Alessandra Rich, and a LOT of Carolina Herrera.
