May 18, 2020 - 06:10 BST Andrea Caamano The Earl and Countess of Wessex lent their support to the Royal Windsor Horse Show over the weekend as it took place virtually for the first time in its history due to the coronavirus. As Royal Vice Presidents of one of the Queen favourite annual events, the couple took part in a rare interview and opened up about their daughter Lady Louise, who debuted as a carriage driver in the event in 2017.
"Today, being Sunday, you ma'am would have competed in the private driving. You would have gone for a beautiful drive. But actually, you would have been led in by the reigning young driver national champion, Lady Louise," said commentator Nick Brooks-Ward.A blushing Sophie said:"Absolutely, I trail in her wake frankly. No, she is naturally so good at it, she really is. It's something that she has taken to very well.
Like the Queen and Prince Philip, Lady Louise is a huge fan of horse riding. She has been often pictured showing off her equestrian skills, competing in the British Driving Society Championship for Young Drivers. Her grandfather Prince Philip was very instrumental in the development of carriage driving and has represented Britain in three European championships and six world championships.Lady Louise, 16, tends to usually stay out of the limelight with her younger brother James, Viscount Severn.
