Lady Louise Windsor was photographed competing in the Carriage Driving Competition in Windsor, and the young royal looked in her element taking part in her beloved activity.
The 20-year-old, who is believed to have inherited her love of driving from her late grandfather Prince Philip, competed in the Sandringham Driving Trials in Norfolk last month.
There he received support from a friend from university, Félix da Silva-Clamp, although it is not known whether he was present today and he was not photographed at the event.
She is believed to have met Felix at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, where she was studying English literature.
Lady Louise, who was taking part in the carriage driving test, wore tight cream-coloured trousers. As the temperature rose to 25°C, she opted for a navy blue T-shirt instead of a jacket.
Lady Louise (pictured taking part in the carriage driving competition at Windsor) is renowned for her penchant for the activity.
The young royal (pictured) inherited her passion for carriage driving from her late grandfather, Prince Philip.
Her outfit was completed with a pair of riding boots, a red and blue helmet, and cream-colored gloves.
Lady Louise, the King’s niece, is often seen competing in carriage-pulling competitions, having made her debut in the sport three years ago, aged 17.
Her passion for carriage driving was sparked by the late Prince Philip, her grandfather, who loved the sport and encouraged her to take it up.
Prince Philip began driving carriages at the age of 50 after being forced to give up polo.
He raced in chariot races near Norfolk before representing Great Britain at several World and European Championships.
In May 2017, Prince Philip spoke about how he started carriage driving, explaining: ‘I was looking around to see what was next, I didn’t know what was available.
‘And suddenly I thought, well, we have horses and carriages, so why not give it a try?
‘So I borrowed four horses from the London stables, took them to Norfolk and practised and thought, why not?’
Lady Louise (pictured) currently spends most of her time in Scotland as she is studying English Literature at the University of St Andrews.
The Duke described how he convened a committee of equestrian experts to draw up a set of international rules for the fledgling sport of carriage driving.
He is credited with shaping the sport in the UK and was still competing in his eighties, representing Great Britain at three European Championships and six World Championships in total.
The sport involves two- or four-wheeled carriages pulled by a single horse, a tandem, or a team of four horses.
Includes dressage, time trials and a challenging obstacle course.
At the age of 91, the prince had a dark green carriage built to his specifications, from aluminum and steel.
Like many other members of the Royal Family, Lady Louise (pictured) enjoys horse riding and driving carriages.
Lady Louise (pictured, left) was given Prince Philip’s carriage after his death, due to their shared love of driving.
He was seen travelling by carriage around Windsor and other royal estates in the following years.
He shared a special bond with Lady Louise through sport and left her his carriage when he died in 2021.
The young royal paid tribute to her grandfather’s legacy by taking part in a carriage driving event in April last year, on the weekend of the anniversary of his death.
Prince Philip started the Sandringham trials in 1982 because he wanted to bring one of his favourite sports to one of his most cherished places.
The trials always take place the weekend after the annual five-day Royal Ascot event.
