Royal fans are expecting to see "more of Lady Louise in the future", a commentator has claimed, as the Duchess of Edinburgh's daughter makes a major move.

Louise, 20, is set to make history as the first female royal to serve in the military since the late Queen Elizabeth II.


The daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh is keen on serving her King and country and has "fallen in love" with the Army Cadets, which she does alongside her studies at St Andrews University, according to reports in The Sun.

The young royal is a member of St Andrews' University Officers' Training Corps (UOTC), which provides paid military training for students.

As part of her training, she will be undertaking Reserve Officer training modules designed to fit around her degree, learning skills that will set her up for a career in the military after she graduates.

According to the UOTC, cadets learn everything from how to wear a uniform correctly to the ability to lead others in stressful situations.

Louise, who is 16th in line to the throne, wrote on her LinkedIn page: "I am interested in pursuing a career in the military, diplomacy, or law."

Gareth Russell, a royal commentator, spoke exclusively to GB News about the news that Louise is keen to serve in the military.

He said: “It's a great idea that Lady Louise wants to join the military.

“There's a tradition there going back to her grandmother in World War Two.

“There's such a strong link between the monarchy and the military, and very much shows Lady Louise following in the footsteps of Elizabeth II.

“Lady Louise is a real credit to the Royal Family and the monarchy.

“When you read articles about her or see comments about her, people tend to seem to really like her and think that she is a credit to the Royal Family now and hopefully later.

“But I think going into the military shows that she's someone who has an eye towards public service and patriotism as well.

“So I think we'll certainly see more of Lady Louise, perhaps in the future.”
