Samuel Chatto, grandson of the late Princess Margaret, recently made a rare public appearance at an event hosted by Oslo’s RAM Gallery.
The 28-year-old History of Art graduate and accomplished ceramicist joined gallery director Joakim de Borda for an informal discussion about the exhibited works, showcasing his deep passion and expertise in the arts.
The appearance follows headlines made by Samuel during Christmas, when he attended Sandringham with his girlfriend, Eleanor Ekserdjian.
The couple’s presence at the royal family gathering has fueled speculation about a possible engagement, as Eleanor’s inclusion in the festivities marks a significant step in their relationship.
Traditionally, only married partners join the royals for the Christmas Day walkabout, although Prince Harry notably brought then-fiancée Meghan Markle in 2017 ahead of their 2018 wedding.
Who is Samuel Chatto’s Girlfriend, Eleanor Ekserdjian?
Eleanor Ekserdjian is an abstract painter and film artist whose work involves projecting moving images onto paper or canvas, then layering her emotional and physical responses through expressive mark-making.
Her pieces transform into lyrical landscapes that explore her evolving emotional connections to the film.
Eleanor graduated in Fine Art from the University of Edinburgh and later attended the Royal Drawing School. She has participated in a six-week residency in Armenia and exhibited her work in prominent galleries, including London’s Redfern Gallery, Gallery 286, and Seen Fifteen Gallery.
Eleanor comes from a distinguished artistic and academic background. Her father, Professor David Ekserdjian, is a renowned art historian and Professor of History of Art and Film at the University of Leicester, while her mother, Susan Moore, is an art critic for the Financial Times.
Samuel, known for maintaining a low profile, appears to share a strong creative connection with Eleanor, whom he met during his time at the University of Edinburgh. With engagement rumors swirling, the couple’s relationship continues to attract public interest.
