Louise had been doing well at the sport and her \u201ccommitment\u201d reflected in her progress, according to her trainer Sara Howe. <\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/652268_494087_updates.jpg\" alt=\"Duchess Sophie daughter earns special position to carry on royal legacy\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Duchess Sophie is \u201cheavily involved\u201d and comes to support her daughter. She is likely to be proud of where her Louise is today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Louise is] a pleasure to work with,\u201d Sara told Hello!. \u201cShe certainly tries. She gets frustrated when it goes wrong, like the rest of us do. So, she still goes home and practises and comes back and there\u2019s an improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The young royal is not yet in the winning class but she is making good in her levels. The trainer explained that \u201cif you\u2019ve got ten in a class or 15 in a class, she\u2019s not winning the class. She\u2019s in the top four or five.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She noted that many people older than Louise have been doing it but still haven\u2019t made it to that level. And all of this she had \u201cearned it\u201d on her own, without the influence of her royal family name.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe generally has that touch and that feeling and take away all the [titles]. I think she\u2019s earned her spot, and she\u2019d be mortified if anybody turned around and said she&#8217;s got it because she&#8217;s been given it\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Duchess Sophie daughter earns special position to carry on royal legacy Lady Louise Windsor, the 22-year-old daughter of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311792,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-311791","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311791\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
