Who are the young royals and the next generation of the Royal Family?
London: The King’s coronation has been an opportunity to get reacquainted with the Royal Family.
Among the next generation are artists, a rowing champion, a yoga instructor and a fashion designer, the “most beautiful” royal and the “bad boy” of the bunch.
Senior, more familiar royals, such as Prince William and Kate, were joined by Prince Harry – but not Meghan – at the coronation ceremony. Prince Andrew was sat in the same row as the Duke of Sussex at Westminster Abbey.
The family has members even the most keen of royal watchers may not be aware of.

Born in 2007, James is the younger child of Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex and Sophie, Countess of Wessex. They decided to give their children courtesy titles rather than calling them prince and princess.
His name was styled as Viscount Severn – a nod to the river and the Countess of Wessex’s Welsh roots – until March 2023. He is the eighth and youngest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth.

Lady Louise is the Earl of Wessex’s older sister, but was moved down the line of succession by virtue of having a male sibling. That rule has been changed now, but still stands for these siblings because the update happened after they were born.
She started studying English at St Andrew’s University in September 2022 and reportedly worked in a garden centre over the summer after her A-Level exams.
Samuel Chatto, otherwise known as Sam, is the grandson of Princess Margaret and the Queen’s great-nephew – and son of Lady Sarah Chatto and Daniel Chatto.
Now 26, he graduated from the University of Edinburgh with an MA in History of Art in 2018 and works as a sculptor from a studio in West Sussex. He also became a qualified yoga instructor during a 2018 trip to India.
