Lady Louise Windsor, the only daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, turns 22 today. Lady Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor is a member of the British royal family, although she is not a working royal. In recent years, Lady Louise has attended several major royal events, including the King’s Coronation, Trooping the Colour, and the annual Christmas Day church service at Sandringham. As of 2025, Lady Louise Windsor holds the rank of Officer Cadet in the Army Reserve.
Belles photos pleines de douceur ; bon et heureux anniversaire à elle !
ردحذفJe suis d’accord; pleines de douceur.
حذفA pity we never see new pictures of her. What is she doing for studies ?
ردحذفShe is always dressed as if she stepped out of an old painting or a series on T.V. style Dowton Abbey. Her brother is also invisible the last years.
Happy birthday to a sweet Lady of whom we know nothing.
Her parents chose to keep their children out of the spotlight. To give them as much normality as normal. I think it’s great we don’t know how she spends her days! As we only see her in formal settings, of course she’s dressed formally for those events.

حذفDon't you people have google? ;-)
A quick search learns us this:
"... started studying English at the University of St Andrews in September 2022. In 2024, she joined the British Army's University Officers' Training Corps (UOTC) unit, Tayforth UOTC, an Army Reserve unit which is made up of members studying at the University of St Andrews and other institutions in the surrounding region."
"The University Officers' Training Corps (UOTC), also known as the Officers' Training Corps (OTC), are British Army reserve units, under the command of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, which recruit exclusively from universities and focus on training and developing leadership. Their role is to allow university students the opportunity to undertake modules of Reserve Officer training designed to fit around their degree and to develop the leadership abilities, skills and experience of their members, which could be useful in a future career in the British Army, or skills and training that can be utilised in a civilian career."
In addition to anon.23;43: we do see pictures of her when she participates in horse carriage- driving events too.

حذفAs we never see pictures of her on "New my royals" we simply forget about her. Not like in Monaco where the whole family is appearing regularly with "uncle Albert".
Whatever their parents decided for them: They are not children any more. So if we see less of them, it is their own decision now.
حذفI’ve always admired Edward and Sophie for not accepting the HRH for their children.
ردحذفThough she’s not a working royal,I wonder if she’ll be in a role similarly to Princess Alexandra,when William takes the throne.
Lowri.
Isn’t she the epitome of an English rose? Beautiful and the outfits are so romantic or country life and I think it suits her so well! Ac
ردحذفHello @Ac : You know, I have the same reaction.
حذفWhen I see Lady Louise I think of an English rose.
I also think of Jane Ausen’s Pride and Prejudice.
If, like me, you like this period of romantic history, take a look at a book by Edith Holden called “The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.”
First printed about 120 years ago and sold millions of copies all over the world.
Opps, sorry, forgot, Happy 22nd Birthday to the beautiful Lady Louise, the English rose.
Isn't it Jane Austin ? I am not British and do not read English books but I know who Jane Austin is.
حذفHello, @ Deadeggs, you must have read my mind!
حذفI agree with you on all points.
I am going to read the book you quoted ASAP.
I love English history and literature.
I still remember that my degree thesis was about Alfred, Lord Tennyson, so the epitome of the Victorian Age and a Poet Laureate , too.
You know , whenever I see this
" fruit salad" of our beloved royals, well, don't know why, but a line from one of Tennyson's poems still echoes in my mind:
" The splendour falls on castle walls"!
Thank you for your beautiful comment.
Cheers 👋
Oh, @ Anonymous 12:33, a typo may occur but it does not
حذفundermine in the least what genuine culture and knowledge are.
Please, keep that in mind.
I suppose you don't know anything of my culture either, although it is real culture and knowledge too.
حذفJ’ignore à quelle occasion elle portait le chapeau qu’on voit sur la 1ère photo mais il est horrible et ne convient pas du tout å cette jeune fille.
ردحذفShe is a beautiful natural looking young lady. A real English rose for sure!
ردحذف"English rose" - my thoughts exactly!
ردحذفCette jeune femme serait plus en valeur avec des tenues plus sobres mais elle doit aimer les falbalas, les rubans, les volants, comme beaucoup d'autres.
ردحذفLe motif des iris est subtil et délicat, comme une aquarelle.
Cependant le noeud à l'arrière est superflu et l'encolure un peu haute ne convient pas, un léger décolleté aurait été plus élégant, dommage.
Les chapeaux auraient mérité un peu de sobriété, le 2e, très surchargé, est de style 1900. Paloma.
A very happy Birthday to a lovely young Lady.
