As she turns 22, one of the best related royal you’ve got by no means heard of

Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones is the most prominent member of the Royal Family you’ve probably never heard of. 

The second child of David, 2nd Earl of Snowdon, and Serena, Countess of Snowdon, Lady Margarita is currently 26th in line to the throne and occupies that bridge between royalty and normality.

Princess Margaret‘s only granddaughter has been there at all the key moments, from joining her great-aunt Queen Elizabeth II at Trooping the Colour to walking to church at Sandringham hand-in-hand with Prince William.

More recently she was among the sombre mourners who gathered at Westminster Abbey to bid a final farewell to Her Majesty at her State Funeral in 2022.

Last year, she dazzled in couture on the cover of Tatler, telling the publication: ‘I love fashion. I have always had an interest in it, and I love experimenting with styles.’

Turning 22 today, Lady Margarita runs her own jewellery brand called Matita, creating handmade pieces that are inspired by the natural world. 

From a young age she displayed an interest in fashion and aged 14 attended the Dior Cruise show at Blenheim Palace. 

Often sharing items with her stylish mother, the Countess of Snowden, her most memorable outfits often include delicate fascinators and headpieces atop designer dresses. 

Now, as she celebrates her birthday, we take a look back at some of her most momentous fashion occasions.

Prince Philip Memorial Service

Seated behind Kate Middleton for the memorial service of Prince Philip in 2022, Lady Margarita cut a stylish figure in a puff sleeve midi dress by fashion forward designer Ulla Johnson.

Adding detail through her millinery she topped the ensemble with an intricate Rachel Trevor-Morgan headpiece.

Tatler’s Little Black Book Party 2022

Resplendent in Michael Kors Collection crystals and a white faux fur coat, Lady Margarita chose Hollywood glamour in a mirror-image look of her late grandmother, Princess Margaret, for Tatler’s Little Black Book Party in 2022.

 It was in 1951 when Princess Margaret was pictured at a Leicester Square movie premiere in a beaded gown and white fur stole with the same high-octane elegance.

The King’s Coronation

The granddaughter of Princess Margaret wore a crepe pink creation by Parisian designer Beatrice Ferrant featuring taffeta and silk tulle, as well as a cropped jacket for the King’s Coronation.

The look was completed with coordinating shoes from Beatrice Ferrant and a headband in the same hue as her dress made of silk tulle and feathers by Stephen Jones.

Queen Elizabeth Coffin Procession

Lady Margarita dressed in sombre black when joining members of the royal family to escort the late monarch’s coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall in September 2022.

Dressed up in a designer ensemble, she chose a chic Christian Dior jacket topped with a Rachel Trevor Morgan veiled headpiece. 

Easter Sunday Church Service

Lady Margarita attended the 2022 traditional Easter Sunday Church service at St George’s Chapel in a recycled Etro paisley dress and Mary Jane pumps.

Sharing the piece with her mother, the Countess of Snowden, who previously stepped out in the frock for Princess Eugenie’s wedding, Margarita was a vision of boho chic with her floral headpiece. 

Prince Harry’s Wedding

Arriving at Prince Harry and Meghan’s nuptials in 2018, Lady Margarita was elegantly dressed in a monochrome dress and bolero jacket with a matching fascinator. 

Seen before on the Countess of Snowden, the ivory dress with black piping neatly nipped in at the waist and flared into an A-line skirt. 

Royal Ascot 2018

Dressed for the races in 2018, Lady Margarita went high fashion in a striking dress by British fashion designer Burberry. 

She once again borrowed from her mother’s wardrobe she recycled her large feather fascinator, giving the floral frock a stylish edge. 

Princess Eugenie’s Wedding

Attending the wedding of Princess Eugenie of York and Jack Brooksbank at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in 2018, Lady Margarita displayed her flair for accessories.

Turning to Kate Middleton’s milliner of choice, she chose a Rachel Trevor Morgan navy netted fascinator with pom poms to accessorise her monochrome look.

Lord Snowdon Memorial

As the royals paid their respects to Lord Snowdon in 2017, it was Lady Margarita who stood out with her bold accessories.

Her white broderie anglaise dress and monochrome fascinator was complemented with a personalised Edie Parker clutch emblazoned with her name.

Tatler’s Little Black Book Party 2023

Stepping away from her usual ensembles, Lady Margarita made a statement in paisley print as she celebrated Tatler with a night of cocktails and cabaret in 2022.

The silk co-ord featured a bold collar trimmed in pink and was teamed with a quirky Corita Rose clutch and jewelled pumps.

Queen’s Diamond Jubilee

Leaving the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee thanksgiving service at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Lady Margarita was dressed in a shirt dress and cardigan with coordinating hair bow as she walked down the steps with her mother dressed in Louis Vuitton. 

Showing her early love for jewellery, she decorated her look with a beautiful brooch.

Peter Phillips’ Wedding

Waving to the waiting crowds, Lady Margarita joined her smartly dressed parents and older brother on the steps of St George’s Chapel, Windsor, following the wedding of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly in 2008.

Dressed in a broderie anglaise dress, matching bow and Mary Jane pumps she was angelic in white. 

Prince William and Kate Wedding

As Kate stunned in her lace Alexander McQueen gown, she was accompanied by four adorable bridesmaids including Lady Margarita. 

Wearing an ivy and lily-of-the-valley hair wreath designed by Shane Connolly and a Nicki Macfarlane ballerina-length pleated dress with lace trimmed puff sleeves, Lady Margarita was the oldest of the bridesmaids at eight years old.
