King’s niece launches bid to join the military and become first female royal since late Queen to serve

Lady Louise Windsor, daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie, is an avid member of St Andrews' University Officers’ Training Corps.

A pal told The Sun: “She talks about being very keen on a career in the military, serving the King and country.

“She is all about the Army Cadets and has fallen in love with it.”

Louise, eighth in line to the throne, says on her LinkedIn page: “I am interested in pursuing a career in the military, diplomacy, or law.”
