Classic Margarita • Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones is the most prominent member of the Royal Family you’ve never met: daughter of the King’s first cousin, bridesmaid for the Waleses and a regular on the Buckingham Palace balcony. Now, she’s making her Tatler debut.

MEET THE FAMILY • Photographer, jewellery designer and 26th in line to the throne, Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones is a perfect blend of royalty and creativity. She is Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon’s only granddaughter, a cousin of King Charles III and directly descended from the first earls of Harrington on her mother’s side. Her creative gene is buttressed by her great-great-uncle, set designer Oliver Messel, and her great-great-great-grand-father, the cartoonist Edward Linley Sambourne (to whom her brother’s title, Viscount Linley, owes its name). And her sense of style? Inherited from her great-grandmother Anne Messel, one of the last century’s most glamorous figures.
