The Duchess of Edinburgh ensured Lady Louise Windsor had a "different childhood" than her cousins Prince William and Prince Harry, a PR expert has claimed.
The 20-year-old spent much of her childhood out of the spotlight as she was raised without a princess title.
This was in stark contrast to her cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who were raised with HRH titles, despite not becoming working royals in the future.
Karolina Króliczek, the CEO of PR Insight, a digital communications agency in London, spoke exclusively to GB News to explain why Louise had a different childhood to that of her royal cousins.

“Her parents have made efforts to keep her out of the spotlight, allowing her to have a more normal upbringing.”
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, 59, previously explained her decision to raise Louise, 20, and James, Earl of Wessex, 16, without princely titles.
She told The Times: “We try to bring them up with the understanding they are very likely to have to work for a living.

"They have them and can decide to use them from 18, but I think it’s highly unlikely.”
In comparison, the Prince of Wales, 42, and the Duke of Sussex, 39, were raised in the public eye with an understanding both would undertake royal duties in the future.
William is currently first-in-line to the throne, while Harry is fifth.
