King Charles’s niece Lady Louise Windsor, the daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie, ‘wants to join the armed forces’ – making her the first female member of Britain’s Royal family to serve in the military since the late Queen Elizabeth II

The King’s 20-year-old niece wants to pursue a career in the military, which could make her the first female Royal since her late grandmother to do so.

Lady Louise Windsor, daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie and granddaughter to Queen Elizabeth II, has ‘fallen in love’ with army cadets, a source has said.

Lady Louise, who is eighth in line to the throne, is currently in her second year at the University of St Andrew’s studying English and has reportedly said on her LinkedIn page that she is interested in pursuing a career in ‘the military, diplomacy or law’.

A source told The Sun: ‘She talks about being very keen on a career in the military, serving the King and country.

‘She is all about the Army Cadets and has fallen in love with it.’

The young royal could follow in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth II, who was a Junior Commander with the Auxiliary Territorial Service during the Second World War.

Young Elizabeth made history as the first royal woman to become a full-time member of the armed services, after she signed up for military service within a year of turning 18.

The late Queen signed up despite reports saying King George VI had ruled that her training as a princess outweighed the nation’s increasing manpower problems, and that she would not be joining any of the women’s auxiliaries or working in a factory.

The King and his wife Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother) were determined that they would not be seen as hiding from the war, and so they visited areas that had been bombed during the Blitz.

They also visited military personnel, made trips to munitions factories, RAF bases and Royal Navy ships, and met with troops training for combat.

However, while the family had wanted to stay together at Buckingham Palace throughout the conflict, at the height of the Blitz in 1940, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were evacuated to Windsor Castle.

In September that year, five high explosive bombs were dropped on the Palace, but the King and Queen chose to stay there in solidarity with those living through the Blitz. In addition, the family was subject to the same rationing all everyone else.
