Though both Anne and the Princess of Wales were absent, Princess Margaret's grandson Sam Chatto was among guests at a State Banquet honouring the Japanese Emperor and Emperess.
The Royal Family looks more stick-thin than slimmed down this week, following the equestrian accident which has confined Princess Anne to hospital.
Though both Anne and the Princess of Wales were inevitably absent, a 27-year-old ceramicist was among the 170 guests who joined the King and Queen – not any run-of-the-mill ceramicist but one who only last year served an apprenticeship with 'porcelain master' Yagi Akira in Japan and who, in addition, is also a great-nephew of the late Queen Elizabeth.
Special guest: Sam Chatto, the elder of the two sons Princess Margaret's daughter, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones , had following her marriage to actor-turned-artist Daniel ChattoWhereas his younger brother, Arthur, 25, who's blessed with the family's brawn, is an officer in the Royal Marines, Sam has inherited artistic DNA from his father and his mother, who trained at Camberwell School of Art and regularly exhibits at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition.
Some of his porcelain forms part of a current exhibition in Somerset, mounted by Hauser & Wirth, the Swiss art gallery of which Sam's second cousin, Princess Eugenie, is an associate director.
