Fortunately the charming young girl can now see normally, following the operation.
As Louise was born prematurely via an emergency Caesarean section, the ten-year-old has suffered from exotropia — a condition that turns the eyes outwards.
The next big decision for her parents will be deciding which secondary school Louise goes to, and in the long run, whether she plays a public role in the royal family.
