Prince Edward's unusual request to late Queen that affected wife Sophie and Kate Middleton

Lady Louise Windsor has taken after her late grandfather, Prince Philip, with her love of carriage driving and is frequently seen riding in Windsor Great Park, taking part in competitions or appearing in shows, such as the recently held Royal Windsor Horse Show.The sport was taken up by the late Duke of Edinburgh after he retired from polo and sees one person drive a carriage that is hitched to one, two, or four horses. Lady Louise's parents are frequently seen cheering their daughter on at events and have spoken about her being a "natural." This supporting and loving family environment which has been created by Prince Edward and Sophie has been praised by former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond.
