Lady Louise Windsor, 19, and Duchess of Edinburgh join other royals at private members’ club
Lady Louise Windsor proved herself just like any other teenager after raiding her mother’s wardrobe for an outfit to wear tonight.
The 19-year-old daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh opted for a Mary Katrantzou lace cocktail dress when she arrived at Oswald’s private members’ club in Mayfair for a royal get-together on the eve of the King’s coronation.
Her mum Sophie, 58, wore the dress in 2015 when she attended an awards ceremony in London – and to prove it’s still a classy number, Lady Louise decided to wear it tonight.
The Duchess, meanwhile, wore a vibrant £1,350 floral midi dress from Erdem, which she paired with a cream coat and matching strappy heels.
Lady Louise, who often borrows from her mother’s wardrobe, and Sophie were joined on the occasion by other members of the British royal family, including Prince Edward, 59, James, Earl of Wessex, 15, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Oswald’s is the most exclusive of London’s private members’ clubs, with the Queen Consort and Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie among those who frequent the venue.
Zara Tindall, 41, who arrived with her husband Mike Tindall, 44, opted for a striking navy blue blazer and trousers combination, paired with a light blue shirt.
Her cousin Princess Eugenie, 33, who is expecting her second child with husband Jack Brooksbank, who also attended the family celebration, seemingly took inspiration from Zara and donned an Asceno Velvet Athens robe, which cost £575.
They were joined by Princess Beatrice, 34, dressed in Louis Vuitton’s £2,900 chain-print asymmetrical long-sleeved dress, as well as other members of the royal family, including Prince Andrew and Princess Anne.
Tomorrow they will attend the coronation at Westminster Abbey with King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales. The King, Kate and William attended a reception at Buckingham Palace this evening with foreign royals and world leaders.
Together with her husband, Eugenie, who already shares two-year-old August with Jack, she paired her glamorous red robe with black heels and a matching bag.
In consultation with his wife, Jack opted for a smart suit, a crisp white shirt and a red tie.

Around 100 heads of state will be in London for the event, with international representatives from 203 countries.
