King Charles' Niece Lady Louise Takes Lead Among Royal Cousins with Major Military Move
Lady Louise Windsor, daughter of Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie, has left her royal cousins surprised with her unexpected and admirable decision to potentially pursue a career in the military, following in the footsteps of her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
If Lady Louise joins the military, she would become the first female royal to serve in the armed forces since the late Queen, who was a junior commander in the Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War Two. Her female cousins, including Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Zara Tindall, were reportedly stunned by her ambition, as none of them have taken up roles in the military.
Royal commentators have praised Lady Louise's decision, noting the significance of her potential path. Commentator Svar on GB News highlighted that this move is quite different from the paths her cousins have taken and draws a parallel to Queen Elizabeth II's military service.
Cameron, another royal commentator, added that Lady Louise's choice would mark a historic moment, as it has been 80 years since a female member of the Royal Family last served in the armed forces. Her father, Prince Edward, also had a brief stint in the Royal Marines in the 1980s, though he did not continue.
A source told The Sun that Lady Louise is passionate about the military, particularly the Army Cadets, and is eager to serve her country, embodying a strong sense of duty that is deeply rooted in the Royal Family.
