Stop What You’re Doing – Have You Seen Princess Margaret’s Grandson’s Recently?

Here's everything you need to know about Arthur and Sam Chatto

Arthur and Sam Chatto and Meghan Markle And Harry's Wedding

Let's be honest - every now and then we need a couple of Royal's that looks more like Love Island contestants, it's just good for national morale.

While frantically tweeting in your pyjamas and on a fifth glass of rosé during Meghan and Harry's wedding back in May along with the rest of the nation (don't pretend you didn't), you may have spotted the latest members of the royal family to blow up the internet by being unexpectedly attractive. They are Sam and Arthur Chatto, the grandson's of Princess Margaret who have recently sent every teenage girl on Instagram into meltdown owing to a rather rugged Game-of-Thrones star aesthetic (is anyone else getting Kit Harington vibes?) and the fact that they like to roam shirtless against dramatic backdrops like Scottish mountains or the Dead Sea.

As far as 'Royal' goes (it can be a loose term) they're also actually pretty royal being the great nephews to the Queen. And they're closer in line to the throne than you might think: with Sam coming in at 23rd and Arthur at 24th. They are less like monarchical heirs, more like sculpted demi-gods blessed with labradoodle hair. But why exactly is the internet so obsessed with them? An investigation...

Arthur Chatto

Let's get the Wills-and-Harry analogies out of the way early on (and prepare to see that analogy used a lot). Meet Arthur - if we are making a comparison, then he is Harry of the two being the youngest at 19. He posts a lot of shirtless selfies to Instagram, which is great if you're into biceps that look as though they've been carved from steel - something his 97,000 followers seem to agree with.

Is he also possibly endorsing Calvin Klein? That's a good question, we don't know but he should be. If he doesn't remind you of every rugby-playing abercrombie-drenched popular boy at school who broke your heart then you've missed something.

He's studying History of Art at the Univeristy of Edinburgh where he seems to spend most of his spare time cavorting topless through the Scottish highlands and gaining legions of adoring social media fans who have dubbed him - amongst other things, the new favorite Royal and a 'damn snack'

Sam Chatto

Sam is the Wills of the two at 22, and honestly if his social media is anything to go he's a love, peace and joy-celebrating bundle of delight. We've already decided that he must be very worldly and wise based on the fact that he's spent the last year travelling the world.

Despite the fact that he has 47,000 Instagram followers he doesn't seem too have been seduced by the trappings of social media and hardly updated his page last year. Though it might be because he was completing yoga teacher training (wellness fanatics: you heard it here first). His Instagram posts are also the sweetest and you haven't lived until you've seen how excited he gets about throwing a good pot

Is it ok to make a bad O-BAE-E yet?
