The royal made her father laugh
Despite her royal status, Lady Louise is reportedly working at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in the capacity of a chief organiser. On Saturday, she was seen lightheartedly directing her parents, who stood behind a metal barrier, while sporting a yellow high-vis vest. Later, she swapped the vest for a fleece gilet with ‘CAI Official’ emblazoned on the back.

The insider told us: “Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward provided Lady Louise and her brother James with as normal an upbringing as possible, and this is clearly reflected in her work ethic.
“She is very grounded and down-to-earth; you wouldn’t know she was a royal. It was her idea to ask for a part-time job. She’s very hard-working,” they added. Alongside her studies, Lady Louise keeps a busy schedule, including being involved in the theatre scene up in St Andrews and joining the University Officers’ Training Corps as a cadet.
