Here is the untold truth of Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor.
As noted by theBBCin 2003, Louise was born a month early and weighed just 4 pounds 9 ounces.
Louise was born via emergency C-section and was immediately taken to Frimley Park Hospital.
Because the baby was born so early and under such unexpected circumstances, Edward wasn’t even there.
Talk about an entrance.
As a child, Louise reportedly had a very impactful squint, though her vision has improved with time.
But, apparently, Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor didn’t realize that her grandmother was the queen of England.
“And I asked her, ‘Yes, how does that make you feel?’
It was clear that the revelation was a bit of a shock to Louise.
Maybe she thought that all grandmas were queens, which, if so, how cute is that?
She’s not the only young royal to have benefitted from the act.
Unfortunately, Louise was born too early before the cutoff date to benefit from the act.
As heirs are born, she will continue to move down the line of succession.
The two shared several passions, namely their interest in horses.
Philip died in April 2021, and as such, left many sentimental gifts to his young granddaughter.
Philip left his two Fell horses, Balmoral Nevis and Notlaw Storm, to Louise.
In addition, he gifted her his own four-wheeled carriage, the same carriage used during his funeral procession.
Philip often used the carriage while he stayed at Windsor Castle.
The gesture clearly made a big impact on the monarch, who looked very favorably on her granddaughter.
Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have sibling similarities.
“There is something about her a capability,” the insider shared.
“She’s obviously a very gentle young woman.”
Louise’s similar looks and traits may explain why she and the queen get along so well.
“I trail in her wake frankly,” Sophie said.
“No, she is naturally so good at it, she really is.
It’s something that she has taken to very well.”
School, however, did get in the way of Louise’s passion.
“Her encouraging and proud smile is teamed with the kind of spatial gap you’d get between friends …
This allows Sophie’s daughter to be seen and to feel like a confident adult in public.”
As such, they have done everything they can to give Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor a normal life.
“[Louise and James] go to a regular school.
They go to friends for sleepovers and parties,” said Sophie.
“At weekends we do lots of dog walking and stay with friends.”
It’s safe to say that Louise has absolutely benefitted from her parents' family values and lifestyle.
We’re excited to see what this royal accomplishes in the future.
For that price, we sure hope it does.
Unlike her older cousins, Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor seems to be cut of much simpler cloth.
The young aristocrat is not afraid to get her hands dirty literally.
It’s believed that her responsibilities included greeting customers, pruning the plants, and even tilling the soil.
She seemed to be loving the job.”
This was apparent at the 2022 Commonwealth Games when Louise showed up in a gorgeous patterned sun dress.
Sophie had worn the piece seven years before to the Chelsea Flower Show.
Of course, this was far from being the only occasion that Louise rocked her mother’s clothes.
In light of the British cost-of-living crisis, Louise has come across as a sensible and discreet young royal.
But the children of Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, are rarely seen in the spotlight.
AsExpressnoted, this could be directly linked to Edward and Sophie’s wish for privacy.
Even though Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor is an adult, she’s only ever seen during official royal events.
Edward has spoken about his desire to keep his kids out of the headlines.
As reported byHello!, several social media users have shared their opinions on the matter.
Another chimed in, “Her Uncle Charles needs to make Lady Louise a working royal.
She is poised, smart and elegant!”
Interestingly, casual fans are not the only ones who want to see Louise take on a bigger role.
In fact, at least one royal expert has seemingly expressed enthusiasm toward the idea.
According to a report inThe Sun, one of the blond aristocrat’s closest friends agrees with this assessment.
The reason for this choice might have something to do with Louise’s unusual upbringing.
Unlike other royals of her generation, Louise studied at a fairly typical British school.
She was also encouraged to enjoy inexpensive hobbies, like going on walks or attending slumber parties.
Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles.
