Suggest moving to Sarah Chatto edit

It's unclear to me what justifies including "Lady" in the article title. Her name is Sarah Chatto. If I understand Lady#British titles correctly she has been styled "Lady" since birth by virtue of being the daughter of an earl (does being the daughter of a princess also confer this?), although that statement is unsourced and Style_(form_of_address)#United_Kingdom_2 doesn't make reference to the style applying to daughters of earls, only to their wives. In any case, even if she is usually referred to as "Lady Sarah Chatto", the "Lady" is not an integral part of her name, any more than "Mrs" would be. Beorhtwulf (talk) 14:16, 8 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Simply, "Lady" is a life title for the daughter of a Duke, Marquess, or Earl. Even after marriage, you keep the "Lady" title as in Sarah's case. The aforementioned daughter of an upper Noble (Duke, Marquess, or Earl) is Lady + First Name. It's different for the wife of a knight or a baronet, who is just Lady + Married Surname. That's a whole other deal. For this case, Lady is appropriate. This is her rightful style. --Geekyroyalaficionado (talk) 18:28, 18 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
It is her title as the daughter of a high ranking peer (Duke, Marquess, and Earl). As stated above, it is her title for life. It's also common for articles on Wikipedia to include these titles in the article names. See Lady Margaret Beaufort, Lady Diana Cooper, Lady Edwina Grosvenor, Lady Ursula d'Abo, Lady Nicholas Windsor, Lady Kitty Spencer, etc. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 19:26, 18 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
