Lady Louise, who is twelfth in line to the throne and the Queen’s youngest granddaughter, wore a red jacket with a black and silver riding hat.

This outing comes amid a difficult month for the royal family following Prince Andrew’s disastrous interview with the BBC about Jeffrey Epstein.

Following the interview, it was announced that the Duke of York would be stepping down from royal duties with the approval of his mother the Queen. 

There is a possibility that Prince Edward may be called on to take some of the patronages that are no longer held by his brother. 

At least 23 organisations have either dropped the Duke of York or accepted his resignation, including the English National Ballet, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Outward Bound Trust.
