Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
One expert has opened up about whether he believes Lady Louise Windsor will follow in her family’s footsteps and take on official royal duties in the future. After discussing the role that the Duchess of Edinburgh plays in the family, royal author Robert Jobson said that he can’t see Lady Louise – who is currently a student – being a more active member of the Royal Family.
Speaking in the new episode of A Right Royal Podcast, Mr Jobson said: “I’m not so sure about that. Sophie presents a very queenly image, and she’s venturing into military endeavours. She’s also known to be very close to the late Duke of Edinburgh.
“The real question is whether her daughter actually wants to do it. I don’t get the impression that either her daughter or Viscount Severn would necessarily desire that kind of public life, and that choice truly needs to come from them.”
He explained further: “It’s a significant commitment, as the public spotlight can be intense once you’re in it.
“Currently, they’ve been very well-shielded due to the current arrangements. Pushing them forward now might be difficult.”
The expert’s comment comes after it was recently revealed that Princess Eugenie is set to become a mentor at the King’s Foundation.
The late Queen’s granddaughter – and King Charles’s niece – is working with The King’s Foundation’s new 35 under 35 network of changemakers.
The King’s Foundation released a short video of the 35-year-old saying it was “such an honour” to celebrate 35 years of the charity to “honour His Majesty’s celebration of traditional arts, nature and sustainability”.
Sharing their delight over Eugenie’s new role, one user on X wrote: “Great to see Princess Eugenie with the King’s Foundation.”
Another said: “Princess Eugenie is excellent in everything she does. She exudes warmth and grace always. The royal family is blessed to have her among them. Thank you Princess Eugenie.”
