Lady Sarah Chatto was born in 1964 — the last royal baby born at 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.
One royal insider previously revealed: ‘The Queen adores Sarah and seeks out her company as often as possible. She is her absolute favourite younger Royal.
‘They are hugely at ease in each other’s company. Much giggling can be heard when they are together. They share a sense of loyalty, fun, duty and the ridiculous.’
One acquaintance said: ‘Sarah is very unassuming; shy and almost embarrassed with no grandeur at all. Take royal events — she’ll be on the balcony, but she never pushes herself to the middle or the front, like some.’
It was likely an emotional day for Lady Sarah as well, after her cousin King Charles secured his first ever Ascot win.

After two losses yesterday, Charles and Camilla were thrilled to scoop their first ever win at Royal Ascot, which is 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 had over 24 Ascot wins – 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 all that, what a race!’
The couple’s trainer William Haggas added: ‘They’re absolutely thrilled.
‘They’ve been looking forward to Ascot for a long time, it’s very important for horse racing, important the King and Queen enjoy it.’
During the presentation ceremony, King Charles accidentally knocked over the trophy to begin with and couldn’t disguise his joy.
The late Queen had a lifelong love of horses – having received a Shetland pony called Peggy from her grandfather George V when she was four years old.
