Lady Sarah Frances Elizabeth Armstrong-Jones (now Chatto) was born at Kensington Palace on May 1, 1964. The youngest grandchildren of King George VI and the Queen Mother, Sarah was born seventh in line of succession to the throne, and will be in 24th place after the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's baby this Spring.
Her godparents were a mix of family friends; Prudence, Lady Penn; Jane Stevens, another of Princess Margaret's ladies-in-waiting; Marigold Bridgeman; David Fane, 15th Earl of Westmorland; and Antony Barton. Like her brother, Sarah was raised at Kensington Palace apartment 1A, which would later house future royals like Princess Diana and Kate Middleton. She was even a young bridesmaid at Prince Charles and Diana's 1981 wedding.
Sarah enrolled in art school, then travelled to India with her father, who was on assignment to photograph the production of A Passage to India. She was offered an internship by the director, and assisted the wardrobe department until returning to England and studying at Middlesex University.
