He was born at the Portland Hospital in Marylebone, London and was baptised at St James’s Palace.

In Princess Margaret's final years, Charles and his parents, Lord Snowdon and his then-wife Serena Stanhope, moved into Kensington Palace to look after her up until her death in 2002.

In the same year, Charles's younger sister Margarita was born.

Following Margaret's death, Queen Elizabeth wanted to maintain a close relationship with her nephew and regularly invited him to join family events.

However, unlike his younger sister, Charles did not play a part in Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal wedding in April 2011.

At the age of 12, Charles was appointed as the first Page of Honour for the late Queen and he was required to carry the Queen's robes on state occasions.

Speaking of his appointment as a Page of Honour, one courtier told The Telegraph: "Charles never made a fuss about not being made a pageboy, but the Queen was keen to ensure that he did not feel left out."

Charles maintained the role until 2015 and has since lived free of royal responsibilities.

His parents, David Armstrong-Jones and Serena Stanhope met when her father, the 12th Earl of Harrington, asked David to design furniture for him.

Their 1993 wedding at St Margaret’s Westminster was attended by 650 guests.

But after being married for 26 years, they announced their divorce in 2020.

A spokesman for the Earl announced news of his divorce, saying that the split was "amicable".

He said: "The Earl and Countess of Snowdon have amicably agreed that their marriage has come to an end and that they shall be divorced.

"They ask that the press respect their privacy and that of their family."

How is Charles Armstrong-Jones related to the royal family?

Charles Armstrong-Jones is the late Queen's great-nephew.

His father David is the only son of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon, and a grandson of King George VI. 

Does Charles Armstrong-Jones have an official royal title?

"My children are not royal; they just happen to have the Queen for their aunt," Princess Margaret once said; the same is true for her grandchildren, only, the Queen was their great-aunt.

However, Charles is the only one of Princess Margaret's grandchildren to have a title.

His father became Earl of Snowdon following the death of his own father, Antony Armstrong-Jones in 2017.

Charles, in turn, became Viscount Linley.

As Viscount Linley, Charles is 26th in line to the throne and heir apparent to the Earldom of Snowdon, which he will inherit after his father.

What does Charles Armstrong-Jones do for a living?

Since graduating in 2021, he now works as a musician.

His younger sister Lady Margarita Elizabeth Rose Alleyne Armstrong-Jones told Tatler magazine: "He is very into his orchestral music. He is self-taught and can sing, play the piano and the guitar.

"Somehow he combines it all together – including online choirs – on his laptop into one piece of music."
