Biography

Daniel was born on 22 April 1957 in London, England, as "Daniel Chatto St George Sproule". He is the son of Thomas Chatto St George Sproule (1920–1982), better known as the actor Tom Chatto, and his wife, Rosalind Joan Thompson (died 2012), better known as the theatrical agent Ros Chatto.[2] He has an elder brother, James Chatto, a food writer in Toronto who is the father of comedian Mae Martin.[3]

In 1987, he legally changed his name by a deed poll from Daniel Chatto St George Sproule to Daniel St George Chatto. At the same time, his mother, also using a deed poll, abandoned her married surname of Sproule in favour of Chatto.[1][4]

Marriage

On 14 July 1994, Chatto married Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones.[5]

The couple have two sons:

  • Samuel David Benedict Chatto (born 28 July 1996) who is 29th in the line of succession to the British throne as of May 2023. He studied at Eton, read History of Art at the University of Edinburgh, and now works as a sculptor, based in West Sussex.[6]
  • (Second Lieutenant) Arthur Robert Nathaniel Chatto (born 5 February 1999) who is 30th in the line of succession to the British throne and a former page of honour to Queen Elizabeth II (his grand-aunt) from 2009 to 2015.
