While there were reports that the young royal might follow in her late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s footsteps and pursue a military role, Lady Louise shares notable similarities with another family member.
As an elder sister with a passion for horses and a strong sense of duty, Lady Louise closely resembles her aunt, Princess Anne, 74, renowned for being one of the hardest-working royals.
A Shared Love of Horses
A love for horses is also something shared by Anne and Louise, with the young royal’s aforementioned passion for carriage driving, as well as Anne’s Olympic career as an equestrian. Their passion for all things horses may have been a talking point at Trooping the Colour in May when they were pictured in conversation before watching the flypast.
Like her grandmother, Louise frequently enters competitions in her horse-focused sport, showing the same sense of determination and competitiveness as the Princess Royal.
Both Have a Strong Sense of Duty
Despite Duchess Sophie previously explaining that her daughter is “unlikely” to take on a royal role in the future, much like her aunt, Louise is always ready to step up when it comes to her position in the family.
Much like the Princess Royal, whenever Louise is seen at official royal events, she always looks poised, elegant, and confident. Louise may even become more involved in royal life like her aunt as William becomes King.
Online royal correspondent, Danielle Stacey, explained: “Lady Louise Windsor is carving out her own career, but she may be one of the cousins the Prince of Wales turns to when he becomes King. While it’s not known if she wants to become a full-time working royal like her parents, Lady Louise could represent the monarchy or attend engagements on behalf of William in the future.”
Elder Sisters
As elder sisters in their family, both Louise and Anne set examples for their respective brothers.
Last week, Earl James received his GCSE results, and while his future plans are yet to be revealed, Louise has set a good example for her younger brother. Although he is closer in line to the throne than she is due to primogeniture, he may follow in the footsteps of their future King Cousin by attending St Andrews University.
