The Queen’s granddaughter, Lady Louise Windsor, has been working in a garden center for nearly minimum wage this summer.
The 18-year-old daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex has been earning £6.63 an hour this summer since finishing her A-levels in June and working several days a week – despite working in a £30 million mansion in Bagshot Park, Surrey lived.
She confirmed her place at St Andrews University after receiving her A-level results, Buckingham Palace announced today. She is going to study English at the Scottish University.
Lady Louise is said to have helped at the cash register, greeting customers, pruning and potting plants in the garden center.
One customer said: ‘I knew the cost of living crisis was bad, but I never thought I’d ever see a grandchild of the Queen working in a garden center,’ she said. The sun.

Another who was served by the royal said: ‘I couldn’t believe it was Lady Louise, I had to look twice.
‘She is a very humble and sweet young woman who is polite and attentive to customers. She seemed to love the work.
“You’d never think the Queen’s granddaughter would play a part behind a cash register.”
Another customer added: ‘The staff seemed to adore her. You don’t buy your begonias from a royal every day.’
Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine told the publication, “Isn’t it wonderful that the Queen’s granddaughter rolled up her sleeves and got her hands dirty with a summer job before going to college — just like any other normal teenager.”
Lady Louise studied English, History, Politics and Drama at AS level at her school in Ascot, near the family’s home in Bagshot Park.
It is not known which subjects she took at A level and which grades she obtained.
The schoolgirl was among thousands of students affected when AS-level exams were canceled last year.
Tens of thousands of British students fought for a university place through Clearing today – after the A grades they received were lower than the past two years, but remained above pre-pandemic levels.
Some 20,360 students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland found out today, based on exam results, that they were not placed and therefore eligible for Clearing.

This total was 46 percent higher than the figure of 13,930 in 2021 – when students were assessed by teachers – but lower than the latest pre-pandemic figure of 24,260 in 2019.
Lady Louise was one of those lucky enough to get a seat and will be joining Freshers in St Andrews this fall.
The teen has a close relationship with her grandmother the Queen and is taking on an increasing public role within the royal family.
She starred in Trooping the Color at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration before making her appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace next to the Queen.
The 18-year-old recently joined her parents and brother James, Viscount Severn, 14, at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
An avid equestrian, Lady Louise has inherited her love of carriage rides from her late grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, who personally taught her the sport.

She rides on a competitive basis and will undoubtedly want to continue her hobby through university.
Many St. Andrews students live in dorms. William and Kate both lived in St Salvator’s, known as Sallies, where they met as friends before the romance blossomed.
They both initially enrolled to study art history, but William later switched to geography.
The couple made their relationship public shortly before their graduation.
