Lady Louise Windsor is set to have a low-key future outside the Firm, according to Royal experts.
Louise, who has just started her third year at the University of St Andrews, is often viewed as a diligent young royal as she approaches her 21st birthday.
Lady Louise takes after her late grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, with her passion for horse riding and carriage driving.
However, it is unlikely she will feature in future plans by King Charles as he intends to keep senior working royals to a minimum.

Managing editor of Majesty magazine Joe Little told Hello!: "I don't ever envisage her being a full-time working royal, or even a part-time working royal...She's a member of the Royal Family. She's the niece of the present King and will be the cousin of the future King.
"But I don't think she will play an active role in working royal life.I think she will attend royal events, but I don't see her undertaking her own engagements. I think she will very much do her own thing in the future.
"Now there's no reason for Louise not to be involved with charities, like her mother and father, but given her age, I think she can make those decisions by herself when the time is right."
He added that Louise has never been styled as "Her Royal Highness" despite having that birthright and that her parents Prince Edward and Sophie specifically chose not to call her Princess Louise.
LATEST ROYAL NEWS:
Lady Louise, 20, is a member of the St Andrews University Officers’ Training CorpsPALady Louise has thrown herself into student life at St Andrews, joining the University Officers' Training Corps (UOTC), which provides paid military training for students.
Much like her grandfather Prince Philip, she is known to be a proficient carriage driver. However, she also was a member of the Brownies, a girl-guiding group that encourages fun whilst developing new skills.
Her Brownies attendance was likely helpful in building Lady Louise's confidence, as Girlguiding helps attendees feel up to 23 per cent higher confidence than the UK average – a necessity for her role as both a royal and a member of the military.
Lady Louise's mother, Duchess Sophie, is in fact the President of Girlguiding UK. Her aunt, Princess Anne, was also part of the Brownies.
Lady Louise Windsor, 20, is the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of EdinburghGettyJoe Little added: "She isn't well-known in comparison with other members of her family. She is perhaps slightly below the radar at the moment.
"I can't see why she would need or necessarily want a public role at this stage, because other members of her family are doing things in their own way and that's perfectly adequate....I just think her profile will continue to be pretty low."
