Lady Louise Windsor, the niece of King Charles, was given a warm show of support at her recent carriage driving competition. Rumoured boyfriend, Felix da Silva-Clamp, made an appearance at the National Carriage Driving Championships held on August 30 at the Ashfields Carriage and Polo Club in Great Canfield, Essex.


In an exclusive report by Hello! magazine, images captured the pair sharing light-hearted moments and strolling around the venue together. An eyewitness revealed that Felix exhibited his support by enthusiastically cheering and applauding Lady Louise, 21, from the sidelines. He also reportedly showed his excitement by cheering her on as she navigated through the water obstacles, demonstrating his keen interest in her progress in the sport.
Felix da Silva-Clamp had previously accompanied Lady Louise at another carriage driving event over the summer. The support and affection between the two were evident as Felix was described as “protective” of Louise, with the pair enjoying a pleasant lunch together before the competition commenced.
Lady Louise, following in the sporting footsteps of her late great-grandfather, Prince Philip, has a deep passion for carriage driving. Her dedication to the sport has seen her garner admiration and support from not only Felix but also her mother, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh. During the Sandringham Horse Driving Trials in June, Felix was seen cheering for Lady Louise alongside Sophie and Penny Knatchbull, a close friend of the royal family and a fellow enthusiast of carriage driving.
The royal family’s involvement in the event was palpable, with Sophie capturing proud moments on her iPhone as Felix and Penny cheered Louise on to an impressive third-place finish. Cameras even caught a tender moment between Felix and Louise, hinting at a close bond between the pair.
Felix and Lady Louise reportedly met at the prestigious University of St. Andrews, where they both pursued their studies. Their alleged relationship, spanning around two years, is rooted in a shared interest in theatre, with reports suggesting they have collaborated on school plays together.
Lady Louise and her younger brother, James, Earl of Wessex, maintain a relatively low profile within the royal family. Their parents, Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, have consciously steered them towards a grounded upbringing, away from the trappings of royal titles and privileges. Sophie once remarked to The Times, “We try to bring them up with the understanding they are very likely to have to work for a living.”
The couple’s understated but genuine display of affection and support at the recent competition has sparked interest and admiration from royal watchers, highlighting the unique charm and grace that Lady Louise Windsor brings to her equestrian pursuits. As she continues to carve her path in the world of carriage driving, all eyes remain on this talented young royal and her blossoming romance with Felix da Silva-Clamp.
