Lady Louise Windsor had a brief taste of senior British royal life and reportedly didn't like what she experienced.

"Lady Louise likely knows she would be mercilessly analyzed under the world's biggest microscope — her looks and relationships etc." PR analyst Alison Lancaster told an outlet. "Every candid moment is a potential PR bonfire to contain."

"It would be a full-time job for a battalion of fixers and crisis pros," she added. "This would involve around-the-clock rapid responses, strategic media cultivation, and airtight messaging."

"In the first carriage is the Duchess of Edinburgh, Lady Louise Windsor, her daughter, and the Duke of Kent," royal correspondent Cameron Walker shared during Lady Louise's carriage procession at Trooping the Colour on June 15. "This is significant because Lady Louise Windsor is not a working member of the royal family, and I think that perhaps speaks volumes that she is part of this procession."

"Princess Beatrice and Eugenie are involved in multiple charitable causes, portraying a commitment to public service," said Nikki Jain, the founder and CEO of The Sprout PR, told an outlet. "Zara Tindall’s experience in equestrianism can be used for events and patronages."

I think Lady Louise would — from people I speak to in the Palace — I think [she] is quite willing to do that," royal expert Kate Mansey dished in October 2023. "I remember going to some Guildhall event, and she was with her father, and very competently circulating, talking to dignitaries and foreign royals... She is at university at the moment; there’s plenty of time for them to do that," she added.

Lady Louise Windsor has been suggested to become a working, senior British royal.

Louise and her younger brother, James, Earl of Wessex, were eligible to be styled as Prince and Princess had their father not asked Queen Elizabeth II to make him an earl instead of a royal duke at his 1999 wedding to Sophie. Instead, the children were appropriately titled and styled as the daughter and son of an earl, which did not change when Edward was created "Duke of Edinburgh" by King Charles III earlier this year.

However, the then-Countess of Wessex revealed in a 2020 interview that her children technically could use their royal styles one day if they wanted. "We try to bring them up with the understanding that they are very likely to have to work for a living," Her Royal Highness claimed. "Hence, we made the decision not to use HRH titles. They have them and can decide to use them from 18, but it’s highly unlikely."
