Lady Louise Windsor, 16, has a special relationship with her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. Sophie, the Countess of Wessex and Lady Louise's mom, shared a few details about her daughter's bond with her mother-in-law.
In an interview with The Times, the Countess of Wessex said that regardless of Her Majesty's status as the Queen of England, the Wessex grandkids still regards her as their grandmother. The Wessex children have apparently grown up to the idea that their grandparents, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, whom they frequently visit in a castle, are actually just like any average grandparents.
Prince Edward and Sophie have raised their children in a normal environment as much as possible. Hence, it was hard for Lady Louise to reconcile that her grandma is the Queen of England.
In 2016 interview, Sophie also shared that Lady Louise seemed shocked to discover who her grandmother really is, after learning all about her in school. The Countess of Wessex said that it was hard for Lady Louise to grasp the idea that her grandma and the Queen is one and the same person.
Lady Louise also shares her grandmother's love for the horses and art. She's an accomplished rider just like the Queen, who trained to ride horses at such an early age. A source also shared that the Queen keeps drawings of her youngest granddaughter in Balmoral, which are rarely shared in public. Some say that Lady Louise might just be the Queen's favorite because they are so much alike.
Meanwhile, whether or not Lady Louise will also pursue public service just like her grandmother remains to be seen. Sophie said that she hopes her daughter will have a separate career outside of the royal family.
This is the reason why Prince Edward and Sophie have not accepted royal titles for their daughter and son, James, Viscount Severn, who is 13, because they will one day have to earn a living for themselves.
Lady Louise will have a few more years to decide her path when she turns 18 years old. However, her mother is quite sure that Lady Louise will not become a working royal.
Meanwhile, the Wessexes have been isolating at their home in Bagshot Park amid this coronavirus lockdown. While it's quite near to Windsor Castle, the grandkids have apparently not seen their grandparents except via Zoom calls since they have to ensure that the Queen and Prince Philip are safe and protected from the virus infection.
