Lady Louise graduates from St. Andrews University

 

Lady Louise's degree is in English and International Relations.  The 22-year-old daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh plans to take a gap year, "intending to combine work, volunteering, and travel before exploring her future career plans."

Although Lady Louise and her younger brother, James, Earl of Wessex, are grandchildren in the male line of the Sovereign, they are not styled as HRH Prince or Princess.  On the morning of Prince Edward's wedding, the Palace released this statement.

Please note the wording:  the Queen DECIDED, and Edward and Sophie agreed that their children would not have royal titles. This was the outcome of the Way Ahead group, to limit the size of the Royal Family.  There is nothing in this statement that offered the opportunity to be styled at HRH Princess Louise.  It was clear in 1999, and it is clear now, that the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's two children will not be royal and will not undertake royal duties.
