Meet the glamourous young royals living their life away from the Firm
Many of us are familiar with the most senior royals occupying the most high profile positions in the Firm, but as you go further down the family tree there are names that some of us might never have heard of.
These family members are often invited to large scale royal events, such as the King’s Coronation, but as they are not working royals they are not required to carry out the same duties as the King and Queen, or the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The Chattos, Spencers and Windsors are some of the names branching off from the royal family tree, with Samuel and Arthur Chatto the grandsons of Princess Margaret and the Spencer girls distant cousins of Princes William and Harry.
The Kents, Prince Edward and Prince Michael, and their families represent a whole other arm of the royals, with one member having a surprising connection to a famous face of comedy that many will recognise from their TV screens.
Here Express.co.uk takes a look at some of the glamorous younger members of the family who may be royal by name but live their own lives away from the media glare.

Samuel and Arthur Chatto
The Chatto brothers Samuel, 27, and Arthur, 24, may be the late Princess Margaret’s grandsons, and the great-nephews of Queen Elizabeth II, but the two eligible young men are making their own names outside of their royal connections.
Samuel studied in Scotland just like Prince William and Princess Kate, graduating from Edinburgh University in 2018 before moving into ceramics.
He now makes his own pottery at his studio in West Sussex, an artistic lifestyle quite different from the one pursued by his younger brother.
Arthur worked as a personal trainer before joining the Royal Marines in 2021, attending the Queen’s funeral last September in full military uniform.

The Spencer sisters
Related to the royals through their late aunt Princess Diana’s marriage to King Charles, Charles Spencer’s children have grown up on the periphary of the trappings of royal life.
Perhaps the most well-known of the clan are his daughters Lady Kitty Lewis, 32 and her younger twin sisters Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer, 31.
Lady Kitty is a global brand ambassador for Italian luxury fashion house Dolce & Gabbana, and as such for her wedding in 2021 they were able to provide her with several stunning gowns for all of the celebrations.
Amelia and Eliza, who were raised in South Africa, also regularly post updates from their glamorous lives on their respective Instagram pages, but the pair have also built their own careers, with Amelia working as a wedding planner and luxury brand ambassador.
Eliza meanwhile has worked as a successful model.

The Windsors
Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent’s granddaughters Lady Marina and Lady Amelia Windsor may be directly descended from the royal bloodline, with Marina at one point 25th in line to the throne, however she forfeited her place in the line of succession when she joined the Catholic Church.
Marina now works in the charity sector, having worked for organisations including Veterans Aid, Beat Routes Charity, Eco-nnect and The Big Give.
Amelia is a fashion model, while their cousin Lord Frederick Windsor is a financial advisor who married his wife Lady Sophie in 2009, although she is better known for playing Big Suze in Channel 4’s hit comedy Peep Show.
Lord Frederick’s sister Lady Gabriella Kingston, a writer and editor, married her husband Thomas Kingston in May 2019 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, the same venue where Harry married Meghan Markle.
