Is Lady Louise Windsor the Queen’s ‘favourite’ grandchild?
There have been several reports over the year that Lady Louise is the Queen’s “favourite” grandchild, due to their special bond.
A Royal source previously told The Sun: "The Queen loves the fact that Louise and James relish their time at Balmoral, and she has become particularly close to Louise, who seems to have become her favourite grandchild, closely followed by James."
The Royal source added: “Louise also endeared herself to everyone by looking after William and Kate’s children when they were up here.
“Louise loves drawing and sketching and was very patiently trying to get Charlotte to do pictures of rabbits and deer.
"Because of her obvious artistic skill, the Queen allowed Louise to look through some of the collection of Queen Victoria’s Highlands sketches which are kept at Balmoral but are rarely dug out these days.”
While the spotlight mainly focuses on Princes William and Harry, the Queen has eight grandchildren, and she is said to be close with them all.
