This Royal’s Approach to Life and Love is Like Queen Elizabeth “All Over Again,” Says Biographer

 This Royal’s Approach to Life and Love is Like Queen Elizabeth “All Over Again,” Says Biographer

There are several members of the Royal Family who have inherited Queen Elizabeth's looks, including Princess Charlotte, but royal journalist and author Robert Jobson pointed out that one young royal is following in the late Queen's footsteps in other ways.

"Some say it is her grandmother all over again," Jobson told the Daily Mail of Lady Louise, the 22-year-old daughter of Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie. Louise graduated from the University of St Andrews this summer and has been praised for her low-key, humble manner, even working at a local garden center as a summer job.

While she certainly bears a resemblance to the late Queen, Jobson says that Lady Louise's relationship with fellow St Andrews student Felix da Silva-Clamp is also similar to her grandmother's approach to life with Prince Philip.

"Like Lady Louise, Princess Elizabeth was a quiet girl who knew exactly what she wanted when it came to love," Jobson said, adding that "Constancy and steadfastness was at the heart of her character, in marriage as in everything else, and it was perhaps underestimated."

"'People say Lady Louise looks like her grandmother," he continued. "There is a resemblance. But the likeness that matters more is not in the face."

Unlike some of her older cousins, Louise isn't into partying, and is more likely found taking part in traditional Scottish dancing with Felix or enjoying the theater scene.

Similar to Queen Elizabeth, who served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II, Lady Louise is also interested in the military and took part in the St Andrews' University Officers' Training Corp. And when it comes to her love of horses, she followed in both Queen Elizabeth's footsteps and her late grandfather's.

Like Prince Philip, Lady Louise is an accomplished carriage driver on the competitive circuit, with boyfriend Felix often cheering her on from the sidelines.

"She has her grandmother’s temperament and her grandfather’s hobby," Jobson added of Louise. "Level-headed, thoughtful and kind. Those who knew the late Queen at that age would recognize a good deal of her in this young woman."
