Lady Louise Windsor and James Viscount Severn, the children of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, and Sophie Rhys-Jones, have captured the attention of royal enthusiasts worldwide.

While their parents may not be as prominent in the public eye as some other members of the British royal family, this young pair of siblings has a story worth exploring.

Here are some fascinating facts about Lady Louise and James that you may not have known.

Lady Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor, born on November 8, 2003, arrived prematurely, prompting an emergency C-section due to placental abruption.

She was then transferred to the neonatal unit at St. George’s Hospital, where she received specialized care for 15 days.

Meanwhile, her mother remained at Frimley Park until her recovery.

Prince Edward, unfortunately, missed the birth as he was on an official visit to Meritus at the time.

James Alexander Philip Theo Mountbatten-Windsor, Viscount Severn, made his entrance into the world on December 17, 2007.

As the youngest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, James currently holds the 14th position in the line of succession to the British throne, with his sister, Lady Louise, following closely behind in 15th place.

It is important to note that they hold the titles of Viscount Severn and Lady Louise rather than Prince and Princess, as their father is an Earl, not a Duke.

Louise faced a medical challenge from a young age.

She was born with esotropia, a condition in which one or both eyes turn inward.

Often mislabeled as having a “lazy eye,” Louise underwent an unsuccessful operation in 2006 to correct the condition.

However, in 2013, she received successful treatment, restoring her eyes to their proper alignment.

Currently, James attends Eagle House School in Berkshire, while Louise has been a student at St. Mary’s School in Ascot since 2017.

Despite their young age, both siblings have already made notable appearances on the royal stage.

At just seven years old, Louise served as a bridesmaid at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011.

Additionally, in 2015, Louise and James embarked on their first overseas royal engagement, accompanying their parents on a trip to South Africa.

Louise’s interests extend beyond her royal duties.

She is an active member of the girl guides, an organization of which Queen Elizabeth herself serves as president.

It seems that Louise not only takes after her grandmother but also her mother, who was a brownie and girl guide during her own childhood.

Moreover, Louise has developed a unique hobby: carriage driving.
