Lady Louise Windsor Makes Debut in Fascinator at Trooping the Colour

Lady Louise Windsor, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Wessex, made her debut as a young lady at this year's Trooping the Colour.

The 14-year-old royal wore a fascinator to the event for the first time, which was also the first time she has done so for the Queen's official birthday.

Louise made her very first appearance at Trooping the Colour in 2011 when she was just seven.

Louise chose a navy blue ensemble for her carriage ride, with short sleeves and a pretty necklace to accessorize.

She wore her long blonde hair in a half-up half-down style, pinned into curls at the back.

In the carriage with her were her mother Sophie, Princess Eugenie, and Princess Beatrice.

Sophie wowed the crowds in a blushing pink outfit.

Just last month, Louise attended the Royal Windsor Show with her mother and grandfather Prince Philip.

The young royal showed off her carriage-driving skills as she took the reins, taking after her granddad, who took up carriage driving aged 50 after he quit polo.

Earlier in May, Louise attended the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, wearing a sweet black-and-white outfit and a matching monochrome fascinator.

Louise and her younger brother James, Viscount Severn, often appear at events to support their father Prince Edward.

Unfortunately, earlier this year, Louise suffered an accident while skiing, fracturing her left leg.

However, she made a speedy recovery after having to walk with crutches for a while.

Trooping the Colour is a very special moment for Lady Louise Windsor.

It is a tradition that dates back to the 17th century, where soldiers would line up for inspection before battle.
