Lady Louise Windsor often enjoys a ski break with her family during the winter months, but this time she has gone without her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

The 21-year-old is currently on a break from St Andrews University and the royal headed to her usual skiing haunt in St Moritz, Switzerland. Although Lady Louise didn't head off with her parents, she was joined by her godmother, Francesca Schwarzenbach, who is a close friend of both Edward and Sophie.

In exclusive photos obtained by HELLO!, Lady Louise was seen in her signature teal ski suit alongside a pair of black with black thermals. A white helmet and black boots topped off her look.

When she wasn't enjoying the slopes, the royal was seen in a stunning purple jumper alongside a pair of brown trousers. Louise added a sunhat and a chic pink neck scarf to top off the ensemble.

Francesca wasn't Lady Louise's only companion for the trip, as the student was seen alongside a small group of her friends, who matched the royal's sartorial presence.
