Lady Louise Windsor appears to have found herself a new hobby while at university, which carries a sweet link to her father, Prince Edward, who is celebrating his 61st birthday today. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh’s eldest child has been snapped rehearsing and acting in amateur dramatic productions at St Andrews University in Scotland, where she is studying English.
Lady Louise can be seen rehearsing her lines and having fun with her fellow university students, including her new boyfriend, Felix da Silva-Clamp, who has also taken up acting. The young royal is said to be a member of the Mermaids performing arts group and even served on their committee. She has played different parts in various productions this year, including Oliver Surface in School for Scandal and Lady Caversham in Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband.
Another picture also showed her using hand puppets for the Cyrano de Puppet show, a group adaptation of the 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand.
According to royal sources, Louise “adores acting,” and the latest snaps show her following in the footsteps of her dad, Prince Edward, who was involved in the Light Entertainment Society of the University of Cambridge (CULES) when he was a student there.
In 1993, he created his own company, Ardent Productions, which produced a number of dramas and documentaries.

A source told the Mirror: “Lady Louise is a delightful young woman and a favourite of everyone in the family.
“She has made a really solid group of friends at university and is a credit to herself.”
Meanwhile, a review for one of her shows said it was “wonderful,” with critic Olivia Durie-Mains adding: “Our narrator, Louise Mountbatten-Windsor, consistently treated us to engaging and well-elocuted storytelling.”
