Overview
- Carriage driving trainer Sara Howe says “you would never know who she is,” describing the royal as “just Louise.”
- Louise blends in at events because competitors wear similar gear, and Howe says the sport puts everyone on a level footing.
- Her participation is drawing spectators and rivals to a niche discipline, with many eager to compete against her.
- Family support is routine, with her mother, the Duchess of Edinburgh, often attending and her brother James appearing occasionally.
- Louise, who is 17th in the line of succession, is frequently supported by boyfriend Felix da Silva-Clamp, who stays unobtrusive at competitions.
