In 2019, to the joy and pride of her grandfather, Lady Louise participated in the first driving competition and won third place. Since then she has been honing her craft of driving a carriage, using the grounds of Windsor Castle for practice.

Following Prince Philip’s death in 2021, it was Prince Edward’s young daughter who became the new mistress of two of Philip’s favorite black ponies – Balmoral Nevis and Notlow Storm, as well as the Prince’s personal wagon.

Lady Louise found a special way to show the memory of her grandfather: both on the day of his funeral and during the memorial service, which was to coincide with the first anniversary of his death, she appeared with a special brooch representing a rider driving a driving cart.
