Prince William and Kate Middleton highly regard Lady Louise Windsor, the daughter of Duke of Edinburgh Prince Edward, and see her as a "royal asset" to the family, according to royal sources. Lady Louise, 21, is a student at a private university and prefers to stay out of the public eye.
Lady Louise's father, Prince Edward, is the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and the youngest brother of King Charles III.
Both Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, believe Lady Louise is an important part of the family, according to a GB News report. Sources also believe Louise may take on a more prominent role in the future
A family insider told The Mail: "She’s an absolutely delightful young woman and would be a real asset."
According to sources, Kate shares a close relationship with Lady Louise's mother, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and has "enormous admiration" for her parenting style. The Princess of Wales is said to be adopting a similar approach for her own children.
The Duchess of Edinburgh has previously said that she and the Duke of Edinburgh are raising their children with the expectation that they will work for a living, and have not given HRH titles to Louise or her brother, James.

However, some sources speculate that under a future King William, Louise could take on a more prominent role at royal events.
Louise is currently studying English Literature at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, the same university where William met Kate. Last week, she celebrated her 21st birthday with well-wishes from King Charles and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
