Lady Louise Windsor set to follow a different career path to her cousins Zara, Beatrice and Eugenie

Several male members of the Royal Family have served in the military, including the late Prince Philip, King Charles and Prince Harry.

However, Louise's female cousins Zara, Beatrice and Eugenie followed very different career paths.

Zara, 43, is a professional equestrian who was even awarded a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Following the birth of her first child, Mia, in January 2014, Zara was back competing again just seven months later, going on to win a team silver medal at the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Normandy.

Zara continues to compete at the very highest level with some impressive results at Chatsworth in 2022, Lexington USA in 2023 and Badminton in May 2024.

Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice, 36, works as a strategist at a technology firm called Afiniti, where she is the vice president of partnerships and strategy.

Before that, the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew worked at venture capital firm Sandbridge and she holds a BA degree in History.

Her younger sister Princess Eugenie, 34, works full-time as the director at Hauser & Wirth, an art gallery in Mayfair.

Both sisters serve as patrons to many nonprofits and are considered committed philanthropists.

For instance, Princess Beatrice sits on the board for the Outward Bound Trust, an educational charity, while Princess Eugenie is the patron of Anti-Slavery International.

Lady Louise is currently a student at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

On Sunday, The Sun reported that Louise has “fallen in love” with Army Cadets at the school and is now making plans to serve her country.

If Louise enlists in the military, she will be the first Windsor woman to do so since the late Queen joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service to serve as a mechanic during the final months of World War II.

“She talks about being very keen on a career in the military, serving the King and country,” the friend told the publication. “She is all about the Army Cadets and has fallen in love with it.”
