Princess Margaret’s daughter Sarah Chatto recycles coronation outfit

Lady Sarah Chatto showed her down-to-earth nature yesterday as she recycled her Coronation outfit at the Royal Ascot yesterday.

The only daughter of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon, 59, looked ethereal in a cream dress and matching hat for Ladies Day.

The dress had a pleated skirt, a V-neckline and was tightened at the waist with an elegant belt.

The recycled number was designed by British designer Jasper Conran OBE.

The unpretentious royal, who attended the event with her husband Daniel Chatto, 66, also appeared to be wearing the same hat which was also cream colored.

Lady Sarah Chatto was spotted in a cream Jasper Conran number at Royal Ascot, the same number she wore at the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on May 6

Sarah also shone in a four-strand pearl necklace, the perfect accessory to complement her entire look.

But perhaps the most striking of her jewels was a special pair of diamond and pearl earrings.

As a sweet nod to her mother, she donned the elaborate earrings that once belonged to the late Princess Margaret.

Even more special, this is the exact same pair she wore to her wedding in 1994.

She walked down the aisle to marital bliss with her former actor beau in London nearly 30 years ago.

Lady Sarah is known for keeping a low profile, and although she has attended Ascot in the past, she is not regularly seen with the Royal Family, apart from a handful of important events.

Lady Sarah Chatto was born in 1964 – the last royal baby to be born in a palace rather than a hospital – within weeks of cousins ​​Prince Edward, Lady Helen Windsor and James Ogilvy.

The late Queen was described as a ‘surrogate mother’ to Sarah and her brother, and was particularly close to Lady Sarah, who was thought to remind Her Majesty of her late sister.

A royal insider previously revealed: ‘The Queen adores Sarah and seeks out her company as often as possible. She is her absolute favorite younger Royal.

They feel very comfortable in each other’s company. A lot of giggling can be heard when they are together. They share a sense of loyalty, pleasure, duty and the ridiculous.’

An acquaintance said, “Sarah is very humble; shy and almost embarrassed without any grandeur. Take royal events – she’ll be on the balcony, but she never pushes herself to the center or forward like some.’

It was probably an emotional day for Lady Sarah too, after her cousin King Charles took his first ever Ascot win.

The royal couple were overcome with emotion as they watched their horse Desert Hero win the King George V race from the royal box.

After two defeats, Charles and Camilla were delighted to take their first ever victory at Royal Ascot, marking the first time the event has been held since the Queen passed away last September.

Over the course of her 70-year reign, Queen Elizabeth scored more than 24 Ascot victories – and Zara Tindall said the moment was “bittersweet” for King Charles and Camilla.

Speaking to ITV, Princess Anne’s daughter said: “It’s bittersweet to think how proud and excited the Queen would have been.

“To have a winner for Charles and Camilla and to keep that dream alive. And besides, what a race!’

The pair’s trainer William Haggas added: “They’re absolutely thrilled.

“They’ve been looking forward to Ascot for a long time. It’s very important to horse racing, important that the King and Queen enjoy it.”

During the award ceremony, King Charles accidentally knocked over the trophy and could not hide his joy.

The late Queen had a lifelong love of horses – she got a Shetland pony named Peggy from her grandfather George V when she was four years old.
