Queen's Special Bond With Granddaughter Revealed
9 Apr
Summary
- Queen Elizabeth II shared a special bond with her youngest granddaughter, Lady Louise Windsor.
- Lady Louise was born prematurely, causing concern for her grandparents.
- Lady Louise is pursuing an English degree and enjoys carriage driving and army cadets.
Queen Elizabeth II maintained a profound connection with her granddaughter, Lady Louise Windsor, a bond highlighted by royal biographer Hugo Vickers. This close relationship was evident during the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations in June 2016, where Lady Louise participated in public events.
Their unique bond stemmed partly from Lady Louise's fragile start in life. Born prematurely, her birth caused Prince Edward to rush home from a trip, and her early health concerns were a significant worry for the Queen and Prince Philip.
Deciding not to use princely titles, Lady Louise and her younger brother, James, have had a more conventional upbringing. Lady Louise is currently in her final year of an English degree at the University of St Andrews.
She shares Prince Philip's passion for carriage driving, actively competing in Windsor. Furthermore, she has developed an interest in army cadets, mirroring the late Queen's wartime service, by joining St Andrews' University Officers' Training Corps.
