Who exactly is Arthur Chatto and where does he fall in the line of succession?
As the grandson of Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth’s younger sister, Arthur Chatto holds the title of grandnephew to her Majesty. Despite his royal blood, he’s unlikely to ever become King. Standing in 26th place to the throne, he can comfortably enjoy all the perks of royal life without the pressures faced by cousins William and Harry.
