It seems like we're gearing up for another royal wedding, but don’t expect Harry and Meghan to crash this one. The upcoming nuptials of Lady Sarah Chatto’s son, Samuel Chatto, and his artist girlfriend, Elena Exan, are already sparking some chatter—but it’s not the kind that the Sussexes would want to hear.
Samuel Chatto, grandson of Princess Margaret and 29th in line to the throne, turned heads when his girlfriend joined the Royal Christmas festivities. She walked alongside the Royals to church at Sandringham, effectively defying the old “no ring, no invite” rule. You might remember that Katherine had to wait until after her vows to join in, and Sophie had the same experience. But Meghan Markle strolled in pre-marriage back in 2017, breaking that sacred tradition.
Now, the internet is buzzing with the idea that Elena’s presence at the event could be signaling wedding bells. A royal insider claims this is a clear indication of an upcoming Chatto wedding. But here’s the juicy part—will Harry and Meghan be invited?
The sheer absurdity of it! Lady Sarah Chatto, the mother of the groom, is rumored to have absolutely no patience for the Sussexes’ antics. You might recall her icy glare during the Platinum Jubilee service when Harry and Meghan rolled in late, acting like they owned the place. Lady Sarah wasn’t having any of it, and her expression said it all: "Not on my watch."
Let’s face it, Lady Sarah has every reason to keep her distance from Harry and Meghan. She was incredibly close to the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, who practically raised her and her brother while Princess Margaret and Anthony Armstrong Jones were off doing their own thing. Lady Sarah is loyal to the monarchy and has no time for the Sussex drama.
Now, here’s where things get a bit funny. The Sussexes are known for stirring up wedding drama. Remember the last royal wedding they attended? Meghan dropped her pregnancy bombshell, stealing the bride’s thunder. Can you imagine Elena’s horror if Meghan pulled a similar stunt? "Sorry, Elena, your wedding’s lovely, but let me hijack it for my personal news cycle."
Let’s not forget Harry’s awkward anecdotes about Princess Margaret from his book *Spare*. Apparently, Aunt Margaret once gifted him a pen and a fish for Christmas. Sure, it’s quirky, but coming from someone with Margaret’s legendary sense of humor, it probably had some meaning. Still, Harry’s whiny recounting didn’t win him any fans among the older generation, including Lady Sarah.
So, will the Sussexes be making their way to the Chatto wedding? Highly doubtful. Lady Sarah’s subtle side-eye and no-nonsense demeanor make it clear she’s not rolling out the red carpet for a couple that can’t seem to keep their bridges unburned.
Let’s also remember that the Chattos don’t even do royal pomp and circumstance. Samuel Chatto may be royal-adjacent, but Princess Margaret famously declared that her children weren’t royal due to their father’s commoner status. The family has kept a low profile, so the idea of them inviting Harry and Meghan—who practically scream "drama" wherever they go—is laughable.
In the end, this is one royal event where the Sussexes will likely be left watching from the sidelines. No paid promo gigs, no last-minute invites, and certainly no invitations. But hey, at least Meghan can still find a last-minute envelope to open somewhere, right?
So, mark your calendars for 2025’s royal wedding, but don’t hold your breath for any Sussex sightings. If Lady Sarah has her way, this celebration will remain blissfully *Harkle* free.
