Samuel Chato is a favorite of royal fans. The grandson of Princess Margaret, Chato made a rare public appearance at King Charles' pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace. And on Christmas Day, Chato joined the royal family at St. Mary Magdalen's church in Sandringham, accompanied by his girlfriend, Eleanor Exeljian.

According to the Daily Mail, Chato reportedly stimulated engagement rumors by inviting Exerzian to spend Christmas with the royal family; the two have been dating since 2021 and are both graduates of Edinburgh University; the two are headed toward marriage. Although it is unclear whether they are, Richard Eden of the Daily Mail suggested that Chato and Exeljan's relationship is a serious one.

Chato and Exergian seem to have a lot in common, as they are both artists. Princess Margaret's grandson is a talented ceramicist and was recently a guest artist at the Ceramic Art Center's Monumental Studio.

According to her official website, “Exerjian's practice is to project moving images onto paper or canvas and paint from or over them, her physical and emotional responses being made visible through rapid mark-making. These paintings and drawings become lyrical landscapes that explore her evolving emotional response to the film.”

In 2019, Chato discussed her creative process in the Daily Mail, stating that she “works in her home and studio in West Sussex, creating functional and sculptural wood-fired ceramics in clay. Since childhood, he has been fascinated with building models of imaginary landscapes and sculptures.

Chato reveals that his “creative practice” did not flourish until he completed an MA in Art History at the University of Edinburgh Working at the North Shore Pottery (in Caithness, Scotland) allowed Chato to hone his skills as a potter.

“Inspired by what I saw in Scotland, and not at all inspired by three months of work in the commercial art market, I spent a weekend preparing a small home studio to rediscover my creativity and built a wood-fired kiln at the bottom of my garden,” he told the outlet. His decision to start selling his work “stems from a strong belief that beautiful, well-made objects have the power to enrich and enhance our lives.”
