Lady Louise

Little Lady Louise picked as royal bridesmaid

Prince Edward’s seven-year-old daughter Lady Louise Windsor is said to be ‘beside herself with excitement’ after being asked to accompany Kate Middleton down the aisle as her bridesmaid.

In the past Prince Edward and wife Sophie have been reluctant to allow Lady Louise to be photographed because she was born with exotropia, a rare condition which causes a divergent squint. But they now realise she will have to become used to public life and as a Royal bridesmaid she will become, for one day at least, one of the most photographed girls in the world.

The source added: “William and Kate made the decision together.Sophie has been very helpful to Kate, advising her on all the do’s and don’ts of Royal life. She has been a real ally. Sophie and Edward are both really pleased to see how happy this has made Lady Louise. She really is the loveliest, kindest, little thing. Edward and Sophie have always been terribly protective of her but she is now at school. They know she is going to have to get used to being in the limelight.. And you couldn’t deny her this chance. It is the perfect age to be a bridesmaid – not too old to be intimidated or embarrassed. She is so, so excited and they are all going to look terribly sweet walking down the aisle.”

It is believed William & Kate have also asked Viscount Linley’s eight-year-old daughter Margarita to accompany her, along with Grace Van Cutsem, the three-year-old daughter of William’s friends Rose Astor and Hugh Van Cutsem.

It is almost certain that Kate’s younger sister Pippa, 26, will be maid of honour at the wedding, bringing the total number of bridesmaids to four – one less than Princess Diana had at her wedding to Prince Charles in 1981.
