Lady Louise Windsor has been spotted in her first public appearance of the year.
The rarely-seen royal, 20, was photographed enjoying a day at The Royal Horse Show at Windsor Castle on Saturday alongside both of her parents the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and younger brother James, Earl of Wessex.

Meanwhile, her mother dressed up for the occasion. Duchess Sophie, 59, wore a navy cord dress which was tiered for a billowing look which was teamed with a tan suede jacket that was nipped in at the waist with a tie belt.

Meanwhile, her daughter opted for a more muted aesthetic in a navy blue coat and hat and cream heels. She also wore a checked scarf, the merino wool style from Highgrove and The Prince's Foundation's recent collaboration, to match her aunt Princess Anne.
