One Unsung Hero Could "Save" the Royal Family's Reputation, But Journalist Says She'd "Be Mad" to Do It

Lady Louise, King Charles, Queen Camilla and members of the Royal Family on the balcony at Trooping the Colour .

Lady Louise Windsor has never tried to be the most visible member of the Royal Family, and that may end up being her greatest strength.

Louise, 22, is currently following in her cousin William's footsteps as a student at the University of St Andrews.

An insider recently described the pair to Hello! as "lovely" and relaxed, without any airs.
