HM’s former page boy is a hit with the ladies...
HAS THE Royal Family hit peak modernity? Just days ago Princes William and Harry poured their hearts out in a documentary about their mother Princess Diana, in which they yearned to lead ‘normal lives’.
But now their self-admiring cousin has gone one step further by embracing the thoroughly modern trend of posting topless selfies online.
Heart-throb Arthur Chatto, the 18year- old son of the Queen’s niece Lady Sarah Chatto and 23rd in line to the throne, showed no regard for privacy by sharing this intimate photo on Instagram.
The Queen’s great-nephew and former page boy took the picture wearing nothing but white Calvin Klein boxers and a very serious expression. His hunky physique immediately attracted compliments from female admirers.
Whether his future lies in the narcissistic world of social media remains to be seen, but Princess Margaret’s grandson is a fan of outdoor sports including Arctic diving and mountain climbing.
After attending Westminster Cathedral Choir school he went to £33,270-a-year Eton, graduating this summer.
At Eton he was in its Combined Cadet Force, which teaches pupils various military skills. It echoes the trajectory of Prince Harry, who also joined the CCF at Eton before enrolling in the Armed Forces.
Unlike Harry, however, Arthur hopes to continue studying before signing up. It is believed he plans to go to Edinburgh University, where older brother, Sam, 21 today, is a student.
Contrary to his buff brother, yoga-loving vegan Sam prefers to use social media to post spiritual messages such as: ‘ Everything is beautiful and worthy of love, for, in loving, we are able to nourish our souls.
‘Today I felt love for the sun on my skin, the work that I did and the stones of the streets that I trod — what have you loved today?’
Arthur, by contrast, has expressed an interest online in food delivery service Deliveroo, and an app called Buzz Maids, which allows users to hire pay-asyou-go cleaners. Welcome to the new era of the Royal Family . . .
