Overview
- Lady Louise, which began work as the four-day show opened Thursday at Windsor Castle, is serving as one of the chief organisers in a paid role described by the director as a “first concierge service.”
- Event director Nick Brooks-Ward says she is a “great worker” who receives no special treatment, underscoring that the job is professional rather than honorary.
- Beyond organising, she is due to drive in the Meet of the British Driving Society on the final day, joining a carriage parade of dozens of horses through Windsor Park.
- The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh plan to attend daily in their roles as president and vice president, and King Charles, the show’s patron, is expected to visit this week.
- The 22-year-old English student at the University of St Andrews learned carriage driving from Prince Philip and has inherited his green carriage, equipment, and Fell ponies, continuing a family tradition at the castle’s annual international event.
