Shirtless selfies aren’t something you normally associate with members of the royal family, which is perhaps why the internet is losing it over Arthur Chatto.

The 19-year-old’s public presence exploded at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle last year, where his dapper tuxedo and classic good looks grabbed the attention of many of the estimated 1.9 billion television viewers tuning in.

Chatto is the grandson of the late Princess Margaret, Queen’s Elizabeth sister, and the son of Lady Sarah Chatto and Daniel Chatto.

He is clocking up a legion of loyal fans on the social media platform Instagram, with 95,000 followers and counting.

The Edinburgh University art history student is fond of documenting his workout regiment, posting shirtless selfies and instilling some serious travel envy with shots of lavish holidays.

Chatto’s latest post, captioned “trekking in the Scottish Highlands”, is the epitome of a thirst trap and attracted more than 22,000 likes and hundreds of adoring comments.

“I look forward to seeing this episode of The Crown,” one fan wrote, referencing the hit Netflix series featuring his grandmother Margaret.

Another wrote: “Prince Harry who?”

There were a handful of marriage proposals and more than a few remarks that we probably can’t reprint here, but needless to say, Chatto’s sans-shirt picture turned online heads.

Before she was the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan famously deleted all of her social media accounts but Chatto’s lesser status among the Royal Family means he isn’t bound by the same strict conventions.

He is currently 25th in line to the British throne and doesn’t have a royal title, but it’s understood he’s set to receive one later this year.

Chatto and his older brother Sam, 22, attended the renowned Eton College, following in the footsteps of second cousins, Princes Harry and William, and was a junior army cadet.

Despite his Instagram notoriety, the younger Chatto keeps a relatively low profile, favouring fitness and study over boozy nightclub outings like some of his royal contemporaries.
