Princess Louise Windsor has never tried to be the most prominent member of the royal family, and that might ultimately be her greatest strength. As the British monarchy suffers from the fallout of the ongoing scandals faced by Prince Andrew, the princess's quiet and modest style may be what the public in the United Kingdom needs. However, even if she were asked to take on a larger role in the royal family, the daughter of Prince Edward (the King's brother) and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, may not want to take on this task. Currently, 22-year-old Louise is following in the footsteps of her cousin William by being a student at the University of St Andrews. Her fiancé, Felix Aubery, often accompanies her, and they compete in carriage driving together, with the princess also participating in equestrian sports alongside her mother, Sophie. A recent source described the couple to 'Hello!' magazine as 'sweet and relaxed, without any pretense.' Princess Louise, granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth, is an active university student and follows the late Queen's interest in the army. Rumors have circulated that Louise, who is in the University of St Andrews Officers' Training Corps, is considering a potential career in the army, which would make her the only royal woman to serve in the military since Queen Elizabeth did during World War II. Thanks to her positive reputation and hard work, it's no wonder there is buzz about the young princess becoming a full-time working member of the royal family when Prince William becomes King. Her parents are also 'growing in popularity among Britons, who admire working royals with busy schedules who tend to be in constant public view and avoid negative headlines,' wrote journalist Chris Riches in the Express. Riches notes that while Princess Louise might be the only person capable of saving the royal family's reputation, she 'would be making a grave mistake if she became a working royal; because she has it all right now.' In reality, Louise has lived a relatively private life away from the spotlight, appearing at only a few public events with the royal family, such as Trooping the Colour and attending church in Sandringham on Christmas morning. She has managed to avoid the press intrusion into her private life that her cousins William and Harry faced at her age, and this privacy would disappear if she agreed to support William, the future King. However, with Riches pointing out that 'the country is in desperate need of sensible royals who bring hope and joy,' Louise may be the one to help lead these efforts. Source: Daily Mirror
