In a bold move that could reshape royal traditions, Lady Louise Windsor, the niece of King Charles III, is reportedly eager to become the first female royal to serve in the military since her grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
At just 20 years old, Louise is already making waves as a member of the University Officers’ Training Corps at St. Andrews, and she’s determined to carve out her own legacy in a field historically dominated by men.
Louise’s aspirations are not just a passing fancy; they reflect a deep-seated desire to follow in the footsteps of her family.
Her father, Prince Edward, though he had a brief experience with the Royal Marines back in 1987, left after only a few months.
Meanwhile, her uncle, Prince Andrew, has a more storied military background as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War, despite his recent controversies.
Then there’s King Charles, who proudly served in both the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy from 1971 to 1976, embodying the royal commitment to military service.
A source close to the young royal shared with The Sun that Louise is genuinely passionate about pursuing a military career, expressing her eagerness to serve both the King and her country.
