In a delightful turn of events, Lady Louise Windsor has taken up a cherished pastime that her mother, the Duchess of Edinburgh, holds dear.
The bond between mother and daughter has grown even stronger through their shared love for cycling.
While many might think of the Princess of Wales as the royal family’s most prominent sports enthusiast, it seems that Duchess Sophie and her daughter are making quite the mark in the world of athletics as well.
Duchess Sophie has been an avid supporter of cycling since 2018, championing the British Cycling Federation.
Her passion for the sport was on full display recently when she cheered for Team GB’s cycling squad, who clinched gold in the women’s team sprint at the Paris Olympic Games.
This enthusiasm isn’t just a recent development; back in 2016, Sophie undertook an impressive 445-mile bike ride from Holyroodhouse to Buckingham Palace to promote the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
It’s clear that Lady Louise has inherited her mother’s zeal for cycling.
During the pandemic, the young royal developed a routine that involved frequent rides.
Duchess Sophie shared insights into this newfound hobby, revealing that her daughter would often take off on her bike when the family needed a break from indoor life.
In a 2021 interview with the Telegraph, she remarked on how refreshing it was for Louise to escape outdoors, saying, “If things were starting to pick up inside…
I would say right, outside.”
Their cycling adventures provided not only a physical outlet but also a mental boost during challenging times.
Lady Louise, along with her brother James, found joy in exploring the outdoors, which helped lift the family’s spirits when they felt cooped up.
