She had previously attended the show and had asked for office work there during a university summer holiday. Earlier this year, she graduated from the University of St Andrews in Scotland. During her A-levels, she worked at a garden centre in Surrey, where she was reportedly paid £6.83 an hour. The garden centre was near Bagshot Park, where her family lived.

Louise’s brother James also worked at a royal estate over the summer, taking a job as a farmhand at Sandringham. James is now at university, according to the account of his summer work. Duchess Sophie has previously described how she and Prince Edward approached their children’s future employment. “We try to bring them up with the understanding that they are very likely to have to work for a living,” she said. Sophie said they had decided not to use HRH titles for their children.
