Another view of Christmas at Sandringham

 Ken Stone always gets the best spot at Sandringham.  Here are four of his photos. 



Daniel and Lady Sarah Chatto, the Earl of Snowdon, Eleanor Ekserdjian, Sam Chatto, Arthur Chatto and Lt Col. Jonny Thompson

Sam Chatto was accompanied by his girlfriend, Eleanor Ekserdjian.   She is the second plus one invited to Sandringham for Christmas. The first was Meghan Markle who joined Prince Harry in December 2018, one month after their engagement was announced.

There has been no official announcement of an engagement.  Sam, an artist, is the grandson of the late Princess Margaret.  He is not royal, but a private citizen whose grandmother was the sister of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Eleanor Armine M.  Ekserdjian was born on August 22, 1996, in the Portland Hospital, London.  She is the daughter of David Patrick Martin Ekserdjian and Susan Pauline Moore.  

Her father is an Emeritus Professor of Art and Film History at the University of Leicester.

Thank you, Marlene and Ken, for taking and posting these wonderful photographs, also noting the names of those photographed, and adding the interesting details regarding Sam and Eleanor. Quite a remarkable and note worthy public appearance.
