Lady Louise Windsor joins Army officer hopefuls exercise in bid to be first female royal since 1945 to serve

EVERYTHING IN ACTION Lady Louise Windsor, who may be the first female royal to serve in the military since 1945, is spotted during an exercise for aspiring Army officers.

According to reports, the 21-year-old daughter of Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, aspires to be like her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

While participating in war drills for aspiring Army commanders, she was photographed wearing military fatigues, wearing face camouflage, and carrying a SA80 rifle and a helmet with Windsor on it.

At St Andrews, Fife, where she studies English, Lady Louise, 16th in line to the throne, joined other members of the University Officer Training Corps (UOTC).

She has taken a course on negotiating difficult terrain under pressure, received leadership training, and received basic weapons training.

The officer cadet was also seen at an evening honoring Scottish martial traditions at Edinburgh Castle, where his father had resigned from the Royal Marines following a four-month assignment in 1987.

According to insiders, she is excited to join the military like Queen Elizabeth, who was a princess when she enlisted in the Auxiliary Territorial Service as a Junior Commander during World War II, and is scheduled to graduate from university this summer.

According to reports, Lady Louise’s participation in the UOTC is the most obvious indication of her next move, which may involve Sandhurst’s Royal Military Academy.

Following successful assignments there, Princes William and Harry were commissioned.

According to one source, Louise has thoroughly enjoyed her time as a member of the university’s officer cadets.

She is more committed than ever to serving King and her country in the future, having completed basic Army officer training.

She adapted the officer training corps to her academic schedule and has really profited from the skills she has learned.

The UOTC offers a level of experience and training that is highly regarded within the Army, according to the Ministry of Defense.
