The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, has just completed the first year of her university studies.
The 19-year-old is an undergraduate at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, where she is studying English.
Lady Louise has not spoken about her future plans publicly, but many royal watchers have remarked that they would love to see the youngster carry out official duties in future.
"I'd love to see Lady Louise working for the family if that's what she wants," one social media user said.
"Her Uncle Charles needs to make Lady Louise a working royal. She is poised, smart and elegant!" another agreed.
"I hope Lady Louise and her brother decide to be working Royals after uni," a third wrote.
Lady Louise has a younger brother, James, Earl of Wessex, 15. The siblings have grown up out of the public eye, but have attended major royal events, such as Trooping the Colour, the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations and King Charles and Queen Camilla's coronation.
So, will Lady Louise and James become working royals after completing their education?

Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles. They have them and can decide to use them from 18, but I think it's highly unlikely."
As well as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Royal, the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra are all full-time working members of the royal family.

Does Lady Louise Windsor have a title?
While her parents and brother James's titles were changed in March, Lady Louise's styling has remained the same.
Courtesy titles are only used by the peer's eldest living son, and the eldest son's eldest living son, and so forth. Other descendants are not permitted to use the peer's subsidiary titles.

Similarly, this is why the daughters of Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, are Lady Kitty, Lady Amelia, Lady Eliza, Lady Lara and Lady Charlotte. Meanwhile, his eldest son is Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp.
