Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter, Lady Louise Windsor, has been working at a garden centre.
The 18-year-old royal, who is the daughter of Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, revealed this week that she is heading to the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland, to study English.
It is the same prestigious university where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge studied and met.
However, as she waited for her A-level results this week, Louise surprised shoppers working normal jobs managing tills for the minimum wage.
One customer told The Sun: “I couldn’t believe it was Lady Louise – I had to look twice.
“She is a very modest and sweet young lady, polite and attentive to customers. She seemed to enjoy her work.
“You’d never imagine the Queen’s granddaughter would take on a role working behind a box.”
Another said: “The staff seemed to adore her.
“It’s not every day you buy your begonias from a royal.”
Louise, who chose not to become a working royal, is said to have studied English, history, politics and drama, but her A-level grades have not been made public.
The teenager, who is believed to have inherited his grandfather’s carriages after he died aged 99 last year, took part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award program when he was at school and admitted he was willing to do so in order to make Prince Philip “proud”. “.
She said: “There was definitely an element of making my grandfather proud and honoring him by taking part in the award which has been so much of his life’s work. I definitely hope I’ve made him proud. ..
“I’ve always wanted to do it because of the skills you develop as a result.
“My favorite part was my expeditions. Just having that level of independence and self-sufficiency and having that sense of accomplishment when it was over.”
