Lady Louise Windsor could be a key player in Prince William's future monarchy. READ MORE:As the British monarchy has faced health crises in past months - with both King Charles and the Princess of Wales undergoing cancer treatment - key players have stepped up.
But she has already not only cemented herself the late Prince Philip's 'favourite grandchild' but is also following in the Prince of Wales's footsteps by enrolling in St Andrews University. 'Edward and his wife, Sophie, are often overlooked because they don’t seem to court attention from the media and appear happy to undertake their numerous royal engagements and foreign visits quietly and without fuss.'
'Hopefully, William will realise that a"slimmed-down" monarchy wouldn’t safeguard the institution, as some claim, but would lead to its irrelevance and eventual death. She is dear to the heart of the Royal Family and was particularly close to her late grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Lady Louise was baptised in the private chapel at Windsor with godparents including Lady Sarah Chatto, Lady Alexandra Etherington, Mrs Francesca Schwarzenbach and Mr Rupert Elliott as well as Lord Ivar Mountbatten. The eldest daughter of Prince Edward wasn't able to attend the at the annual Easter Sunday, missing out on the tradition for the second year in a row, due to her studies
'They used to chat away about it and he would always turn up if she was competing in the Great Park, he would always turn up to watch her and watch her training days.' She had been front and centre in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations that year, joined her parents at the Commonwealth Games and made her successful TV debut in a documentary about her beloved grandfather.
Lady Louise is currently in her second year of the course and also missed out on the annual Easter Sunday service last year, indicating that she may be a no-show for next year's event due to the requirements of her degree.
