Lady Louise Honors Prince Philip’s Legacy with Carriage Rides

In a poignant weekend that paid tribute to the late Duke and Queen, Lady Louise, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, carried on her late grandfather Prince Philip's legacy by participating in carriage rides.

The Royal Windsor Horse Show witnessed an emotional moment as Lady Louise drove a carriage, commemorating her beloved grandfather, who passed away on April 21, 2021, at Windsor Castle.

Both Lady Louise and Prince Philip shared a passion for horseback riding.

Lady Louise took part in the Paul Roger Meet of the British Driving Society, an annual event that holds a special place in the hearts of the Royal Family.

This event, attended by the late Queen Elizabeth II, features international competitions in endurance, driving, dressage, and showjumping.

Originally introduced in 1943 to support the war effort, it saw participation from King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, Princess Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II), and Princess Margaret.

This year's event is particularly significant, as it marks the first one without Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned for an extraordinary 70 years.

Lady Louise, a 19-year-old student at St. Andrews University, made a heartfelt return to Windsor for this year's performance.

The Countess of Wessex, her mother, captured Lady Louise's efforts on video during a carriage riding competition last year, which was observed by Queen Elizabeth II and Sophie.

The absence of Queen Elizabeth II was deeply felt by Lady Louise and other members of the Royal Family who attended the horse exhibition.

Following in the footsteps of her late grandfather, Lady Louise has been involved in British Driving Society competitions since she was 17.

On Friday, her parents, Edward and Sophie, watched with pride as their daughter participated in a carriage riding competition as a passenger.

On Sunday, Lady Louise took the reins herself, exuding style in a beige jacket, matching fedora hat, and a yellow flower pin adorning her coat.

Despite still being in school, Lady Louise and her brother, Viscount James, Earl of Wessex, have been mentioned as potential working royals.

Anne Gripper and Russell Myers, co-hosts of the podcast Pod Save the King, praised the maturity and understanding of the monarchy displayed by the Edinburgh siblings.

During last weekend's coronation procession, Lady Louise, her parents, and her brother were present, with Edward seen smiling warmly.

On Sunday, May 14, the Edinburgh family attended the King's Coronation Concert from the front row, where Lady Louise and James enjoyed performances by Take That, Lionel Richie, and Katy Perry.

Lady Louise looked elegant in a black outfit and gold jewelry, drawing praise from royal enthusiasts on social media, who called her beautiful and a fashion icon.

While Lady Louise's future as a working royal is still uncertain, she has a few more years of education to complete before any decisions are made.

Her first significant royal appearance was as a bridesmaid in the 2011 wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Since then, she has made numerous public appearances, with her most recent being at this year's Royal Windsor Horse Show, which took place shortly after the coronation.
