POLL: Should Prince William make Lady Louise Windsor a working royal?

Prince William is said to be facing crisis as he gears up for his future role as monarch - with Lady Louise Windsor named as the one royal left to help her cousin out when his pending reign. Lady Louise, who will celebrate her 22nd birthday next month, is currently in her final year at the University of St Andrews.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have largely kept their two children - including their son James, Earl of Wessex - out of the royal spotlight, but have previously shared that they are open to them having a more prominent role in the monarchy as they became adults.

The 43-year-old has recently shared his desire for "change" when he takes on the role as monarch, with conversations of a "slimmed-down monarchy" circulating for some time.

Daily Mail's Christopher Wilson has recently wrote that William appears to be "running out of royals" to help him, especially with the likes of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew out of the equation.

Commenting on the very few working royals, Mr Wilson, wrote: "That leaves dark-horse contender Lady Louise Windsor, 21, who charms all who meet her and could be a decorative and useful asset to the royal team.

"But her mother Sophie, vastly protective of her daughter, is just as likely to want her to stay out of the spotlight."

Speaking of her younger brother, who is currently just 17, he added: "Of Louise's brother James, 17, little is known of his character and personality or whether he'd wish to serve as a front rank royal - even if William wished it.

"Currently he's a pupil at Radley, the Berkshire public school."

Lady Louise's most recent public appearances is her participation in the Sandringham Festival of Carriage Driving back in August.
