Lady Louise 'to follow in Beatrice and Eugenie's footsteps' with new role
PA / GETTY
Lady Louise Windsor is set to "follow in Princess Beatrice and Eugenie's footsteps" with a brand new role, a commentator has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's eldest child is currently in her second year at the University of St Andrews studying English, the same place where Prince William and Princess Kate attended.
Royal commentators claim the 19-year-old could take up royal duties once she has graduated.
Kate Mansey, who frequently discusses the Royal Family, believes that Lady Louise could one day be a working royal.

She said: "I think Lady Louise would; from people I speak to in the Palace, Lady Louise I think is quite willing to do that.
"I remember going to some Guildhall event and she was with her father and very competently circulating talking to dignitaries and foreign royals.
"I think there might be a role, in the way that Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie play a role."
The commentator also told The Royal Beat: "She is at university at the moment," and added that there's still "plenty of time" for Louise to come to terms with a larger royal role.
Prince Edward and Sophie have raised their two children with the idea that one day they will have to get normal jobs.
In a 2020 interview with The Sunday Times, the duchess explained: "We try to bring them up with the understanding they are very likely to have to work for a living.
"Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles.
"They have them and can decide to use them from 18, but I think it's highly unlikely."

Lady Louise has often been praised for her poise and confidence at royal events, such as the Coronation where she wore a beautiful blue floral dress.
When her uncle became the King, Louise did not receive a title change, unlike her parents who received the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh titles, and her brother James who became the Earl of Wessex.
Instead, the 19-year-old remains titled Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor.
