Lady Louise Windsor Aims for Military Service

Lady Louise Windsor, the King's 20-year-old niece and eighth in line to the throne, aspires to become the first female royal to serve in the military since her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Currently studying at St Andrews University, she is an active member of the University Officers' Training Corps and has expressed a strong interest in military service, stating her desire to 'serve the King and country.' Her LinkedIn profile mentions potential careers in the military, diplomacy, or law. Louise's ambition mirrors her family's military history, with her father Prince Edward's brief Royal Marines training and her uncle Prince Andrew's service as a navy helicopter pilot during the Falklands War. Queen Elizabeth II served with the Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II, making her the only female royal to have done so. Louise is set to graduate next year, and if she pursues a military career, it would mark a significant milestone for the royal family.
