Strictly Come Dancing is
about to commence – and we cannot be more excited! The BBC show, which is
slowly confirming the celebrity line-up, counts royalty among its fans, so
much so that two royals were spotted in the show’s audience in November 2018.
The Countess of Wessex and
her daughter Lady Louise Windsor, then aged 15, were photographed
clapping, laughing and having the time of their lives. But it was thought at
the time that Sophie may have been a rule breaker! But it was thought at
the time that Sophie may have been a rule breaker!
A debate was sparked after
former Strictly contestant James Cracknell previously revealed
on This Morning that he had been looking forward to his son turning
16 so that he could watch his dad on the dancefloor, suggesting that children
under that age aren’t usually allowed in the audience.
However, since then the matter
has been cleared up as the Strictly website says that the minimum
age for audience members is 14 and under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
Phew!
Lady Louise Windsor, now 16,
revealed details about her chosen A-level subjects during a rare
official public outing with her parents, Prince Edward and Sophie, and her
younger brother, James, Viscount Severn, 12, last month.
The Queen’s youngest
granddaughter spoke animatedly about starting her A-levels in English, History,
Politics and Drama, as she and the Wessexes joined volunteers for a beach
clean-up in Portsmouth.
