Lady Louise Windsor<\/a> made sure to take her part-time role at the Royal Windsor Horse Show seriously on Saturday, with the young royal even seen directing her parents, the Duke<\/a> and Duchess of Edinburgh<\/a>, around.<\/p>\n

Wearing a hi-vis jacket and a blue velvet hat, Lady Louise acted as a steward at the event, helping people to their assigned spots and making sure they remained behind the metal barriers.<\/p>\n

Although she made sure her parents were observing all of the rules, Lady Louise could be seen happily chatting to the pair, who have been attending most days of the show this year. At one point, she was even seen making her father laugh as she mimicked carriage driving, a hobby that she is very fond of<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She was later seen directing the pair to the next event that they wanted to observe, before they went their separate ways.<\/p>\n

Lady Louise’s job<\/p>\n

HELLO!<\/strong> understands that the young royal takes on a part-time job at the show<\/a>, held in the grounds of Windsor Castle, every year. She is often seen carriage driving at the show, a hobby inspired by her late grandfather, Prince Philip<\/a>, and this year she is helping to organise the event, receiving a paid salary for her work.<\/p>\n

A source told us that Lady Louise previously requested a job in the offices during her university summer holidays and was “very polite and helpful” as she was put to work doing administrative tasks, such as sealing envelopes.<\/p>\n

The insider told us: “Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward provided Lady Louise and her brother James with as normal an upbringing as possible, and this is clearly reflected in her work ethic. She is very grounded and down-to-earth, you wouldn’t know she was a royal. It was her idea to ask for a part-time job. She’s very hard-working.”<\/p>\n

Tragic incident<\/p>\n

Sadly, this year’s Royal Windsor Horse Show has been marred after the death of one of the soldiers<\/a> at the event on Friday. Thames Valley Police confirmed the news in a statement, explaining that the soldier was given treatment for “serious injuries”, but sadly, he died at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.<\/p>\n

A statement issued by Buckingham Palace on behalf of His Majesty, read: “While His Majesty and other Members of The Royal Family were present at the arena at the time the incident took place, they were not made aware of the severity of the situation until later.<\/p>\n

    “The King was greatly shocked and saddened to have learned subsequently of the Troop member’s death, and will be in touch with the family to share his personal condolences. The thoughts and most heartfelt sympathies of the whole Royal Family are with the victim’s loved ones and military colleagues at this time of grief.”<\/p>\n

    At the start of the day on Saturday, Charles, alongside the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh met with members of The King’s Troop. Although the day is proceeding as planned, The King’s Troop will not be performing their display.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lady Louise Windsor made sure to take her part-time role at the Royal Windsor Horse Show seriously on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":964888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[269465,687,5106,28691,5105,7710,519,54758,448,7859,17203],"class_list":{"0":"post-964886","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-alamy-stock-photo","9":"tag-berkshire","10":"tag-duchess-of-edinburgh","11":"tag-lady-louise-windsor","12":"tag-royal","13":"tag-royal-families","14":"tag-royal-family","15":"tag-royal-windsor-horse-show","16":"tag-royals","17":"tag-windsor","18":"tag-windsor-castle"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116585465739600234","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=964886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/964888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=964886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=964886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=964886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
