Lady Louise skips major tour with Duchess Sophie, Prince Edward
1. Duchess Sophie, Prince Edward leave UK with son James but leave Lady Louise behind
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh embarked on another trip shortly after returning from their week-long royal tour in Nepal, undertaken on behalf of King Charles.
Accompanied by their teenage son, James, Earl of Wessex, the royal couple took a break from their official duties. However, their eldest daughter, Lady Louise, did not join them.
According to Hello!, Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie were seen enjoying a skiing holiday in St. Moritz, Switzerland, alongside their son and some close friends.
It is believed that their 21-year-old daughter was unable to join the family getaway due to her studies at the University of St Andrews. The last time she was publicly seen with the royals was during the annual Christmas Walk in December at the King’s Sandringham estate.
Their holiday follows Edward and Sophie’s visit to Nepal, where they carried out engagements both individually and together. Prince Edward met with young participants of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, continuing the legacy of his late father, Prince Philip.
Meanwhile, Sophie took part in discussions on vital interventions supporting survivors of sexual exploitation, gender-based violence, and trafficking.
