The discreet Lady Louise Windsor appeared in charming company on June 28 at the Sandringham Horse Driving Trials, an equestrian competition in Norfolk. The young 20-year-old student did not hide her complicity with a young man who came to support her, suggesting that he could be the official boyfriend of the daughter of Edward and Sophie of Edinburgh.
Lady Louise in love? The 20-year-old daughter of Prince Edward and his wife Sophie caused a sensation at the Sandringham Horse Driving Trials on Friday, June 28, in Norfolk, 180 kilometers north of London. But for other reasons than her sporting results. The event created by Prince Philip in 1984 takes place over four days between the Royal Ascot races and the Royal Norfolk Show. It consists of numerous harness races and other competitions around this discipline of which Louise’s late grandfather was fond. The latter proudly took over from the husband of Queen Elizabeth II by regularly practicing this sport and participating for the first time in this event.
Felix, Louise’s boyfriend?
But this Friday, Louise was not alone in her carriage. A duo that intrigues the British press and observers. Blazer for the occasion, tie and protective helmet on her head, Louise Mountbatten-Windsor is very concentrated at the controls of her carriage, while she is participating in a dressage event. She gives her orders to one of the ponies of the late Queen Elizabeth, her grandmother. Behind her, a smiling young man accompanies and supports her. Blue down jacket, tousled red hair, could the companion of the day of the niece of Charles III be a boyfriend potential ? In any case, it seems that the two have been very close for a few weeks.

Met at the University of St Andrews in Scotland where Lady Louise has been studying literature for two years, the young man’s name is Félix da Silva-Clamp. On the social network Facebook, photos show Félix and Louise posing together during a party organized by their theater class. The student holds in his hand a shell in which his name is written and the reward he seems to have received at the end of the school year, best “stealer of the spotlight”. Could Felix da Silva-Clamp be an extrovert whose personality could complement Lady Louise’s gentle character? Nothing has filtered out about the character of the person who accompanies the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh in this event, which is both public and family.
Felix seems, in any case, to have gained the trust of Louise’s mother. It is with Sophie of Edinburgh that he arrives on the morning of this June 28 at the Sandringham Royal Horse Driving Trials, in order to see the young woman compete. Alongside the wife of Prince Edward, he wisely observes Louise and exchanges in a very relaxed way with Sophie, laughing heartily with her. An honor for the boy because Sophie of Edinburgh was named president of the Sandringham Royal Horse Driving Trials over the weekend, thus taking over from Prince Philip. A symbol for the one whose daughter is often presented as the favorite granddaughter of the late husband of Elizabeth II.
Félix’s support and his radiant smile brought luck to young Louise for the weekend’s races. The one who is 16th in the order of succession to the throne came in second place in the driving competition this Sunday. Congratulated by her father, Prince Edward, Louise can be proud of her performance. Happy in sport, happy in love? The young woman seems to be following in the footsteps of her cousin, Prince William, who also met his wife Catherine at the University of St Andrews, at the same age. Félix and Louise have taken a step towards discreetly formalizing their relationship. Only time will tell if it will result in a solid union like that of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
