The monarch’s 18-year-old grandchild drove a carriage that belonged to her late grandfather, Prince Philip, according to the  Mail Online  and  Royal Central .

 The Sunday Times  had previously reported that Lady Louise would “appear driving the carriage and ponies bequeathed to her by the late Duke of Edinburgh, in tribute to her grandfather, who inspired her passion for the sport.”

Ten of Her Majesty’s great-grandchildren, including Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, are expected to ride in a horse-drawn carriage at the show on Sunday, per The Sunday Times.

 Princess Beatrice   and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, attended a charity preview of the Royal Windsor Horse Show’s Platinum Jubilee celebration, A Gallop Through History, on Wednesday. The show, taking place from May 12 to May 15, is described as “a military, musical and equestrian spectacular, taking the form of a play charting the majesty of monarchy from Queen Elizabeth I to Queen Elizabeth II.”
