Meet King Arthur and his court of hot royals
Princess Margaret's grandson Arthur Chatto has been crowned Britain’s hottest young royal...
Move over Prince Harry, it’s all about King Arthur – Princess Margaret’s grandson is fast becoming an internet legend. He might only be 26th in line to the throne, but Arthur Chatto has been crowned Britain’s hottest young royal on social media.
Arthur, the 22-year-old youngest son of Daniel and Lady Sarah Chatto – daughter of Princess Margaret – has been posting workouts on Edinburgh-based gym Bound Fitness’s social media and succeeded in getting pulses racing.
The University of Edinburgh student is a qualified personal trainer and fitness fanatic – last year rowing round the UK for charity and breaking records as the youngest person to do so. His Instagram feed is full of pics of him having fun with university girlfriend Lizzie Friend, as well as buff snaps and his 215,000 followers have branded him a “thirst trap.” E! Online called him “the royal heart-throb we need right now.”
He’s not the only one – Kerry had the arduous task of putting together the world’s hottest young royals for The Sunday Telegraph this week.
Sam Chatto
But wait, there’s more! Arthur’s older brother, Samuel Chatto, 25th in line to the throne, is the perfect counterbalance to Action Man Arthur. Sam, 24, who also went to the University of Edinburgh, has forged a career as a potter and regularly posts pictures of him and his potter’s wheel for his 81,000 Instagram followers. He is also a yoga teacher and in 2018 travelled to India with his vegan blogger girlfriend Sophie Pipe to complete his training.
Prince Nikolai of Denmark
Over in Europe, Prince Nikolai of Denmark is king of the catwalk. The nephew of Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary, is seventh in line for the throne and at 21 has already modelled for Dior and Burberry. The modest prince is studying at Copenhagen Business School and says, “I do not want a career as a model. I’d rather look at it as a job, which can help me along the way while educating me.” His 18-year-old younger brother Prince Felix, also shares his good looks.
Lady Amelia Windsor
Another model royal and royal model, is Lady Amelia Windsor, grand-daughter of the Queen’s cousin, the Duke of Kent and 39th in line for the throne. The 25-year-old was previously crowned by Tatler as “The Most Beautiful Member of the Royal Family.” She also studied at the University of Edinburgh (maybe the royals get a BOGOF deal on the fees), has modelled for Dolce & Gabbana, worked for Azzedine Alaïa and Bulgari and has 87,000 Instagram followers.
Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece and Denmark
Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece, eldest son of Crown Prince Pavlos, has also walked the Dior catwalk and bears more than a little resemblance to a handsome young Prince Philip. “Tino,” as he is known to friends, is Prince William’s godson and was raised in the UK and went to Georgetown University in the USA. The 22-year-old hunky royal is artistic and his stylish Instagram page has 178,000 followers.
Prince Mateen of Brunei
The sultan of Instagram is Prince Mateen of Brunei. The tenth child of the Sultan of Brunei has an incredible 2.3 million followers, who love his polo-playing, topless-poolside and army-action pics. The photogenic 29-year-old, who is fifth in line to the throne, is smart and fit, getting a masters’ degree from the University of London and qualifying as a helicopter pilot.
Lady Amelia and Eliza Spencer
They might not technically be royals, but Harry and William’s cousins have been dubbed the “next generation of England’s most glamorous dynasty,” by Tatler, which made twins Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer, cover stars this month. The 28-year-old daughters of Earl Spencer and nieces of Diana, Princess of Wales, grew up in South Africa with their mother Victoria. Amelia is engaged to estate agent Greg Mallett.
Lady Kitty Spencer
The twins’ older sister, Lady Kitty Spencer, 30, lives her life in front of the lens. The model, who works with Dolce & Gabbana and Bulgari, lives with her 61-year-old fashion tycoon fiancé Michael Lewis and shares her jet-set life with her 518,000 Instagram fans, recently posting images inside her $34 million central London home.
Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp
Still with the Spencers: Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp, 26, may be the youngest, but according to traditional male primogeniture, will inherit and become earl. He attended, yes, you guessed it, The University of Edinburgh and although not on social media, the dashing young heir hit the headlines when he appeared at Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018. He occasionally pops up on Kitty’s Instagram – and once, bizarrely, Nicki Minaj’s.

Sisters are writing it for themselves…
She’s been threatening it for years and this week Samantha Markle published her tell-all book The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister and forever ended her chance of a Montecito mini-break. “Why should I not be compensated?” she writes. Imagine how much vitriol it takes to pen a tell-all book about your half-sister. Kerry did just that in her opinion piece for The Sunday Telegraph today, here.
