The royal family has long been accused of misusing its resources, but it appears one young royal is quietly determined to rewrite that narrative. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is known to have demanded to be treated as a 'prince' even after tarnishing the monarchy’s image, and Prince Harry is also not far behind. From housing privileges to state-funded security, their demands have frequently dominated headlines. Against that backdrop, a royal's humble outing recently caught the attention of royal watchers, who argued she showed the world exactly why she was the late Queen’s favorite grandchild.

Meghan Markle once reportedly had a meltdown over being allocated a smaller residence and allegedly pushed for accommodation larger than Nottingham Cottage to rival Kate Middleton, but 17th in line to the throne, Lady Louise Windsor is setting a powerful new benchmark for modesty. Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie’s eldest child is currently pursuing her studies at St Andrews University and living much like any other student. She was recently spotted on a packed train, sitting cross-legged on the floor when no seats were available during her two-hour intercity journey from London to Bristol.

Louise Windsor is just 22 years old, yet she has taught a valuable lesson in humility to the royal family. She did not throw a tantrum over failing to find a seat she deemed worthy of her status, but instead sat quietly, opened her laptop, and got on with her work while sipping a cup of PG Tips. A fellow passenger on the train photographed the royal and uploaded the image online, earning the young lady widespread praise. Royal correspondent Chris Riches of Express UK expressed his admiration for Louise and noted how she could offer meaningful lessons in modesty to senior royals.



"So that no-fuss image of Lady Louise is wonderful and telling too. It tells me that some unassuming younger royals have not only been able to grow up pretty normally, but genuinely feel that," he said. The expert also opined on how refreshing Louise Windsor’s behavior was to witness. The young royal was seen clad in a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, with her blonde hair tied up, blending effortlessly into everyday life. "The most refreshing images I've seen in a long time and instils faith that many younger royals can teach their more entitled, older peers a lesson or two in humility outside their ego's bubble," Riches added about the photo that is now going viral.

"'Air Miles Andy' never got his moniker by sitting on a public train. Not unless it was doing circuits of Jeffrey Epstein's island," added Riches, slamming the former Duke. He also highlighted how the Sussexes frequently fly around in private jets while lecturing on eco-consciousness. They are never seen riding around on bikes, he noted, but instead continue to seek state-funded privileges simply for being born into a certain family.

Louise Windsor, for her part, has always been known as Queen Elizabeth's favorite grandchild and labeled as the royal family's 'secret weapon' by insiders. She has joined her university's Army Cadet Corps and is reportedly set to enlist in the military after graduating.
