According to the Daily Mail, Louise, 22, also worked as a cook for those renting lodges at Balmoral over the summer holidays.

The publication reported that Louise is "a really good cook" like her mother, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and "incredibly low-key and discreet."

Louise's stint as a chef marks her second paid post over the summer break, her work ethic incredibly similar to that of the Princess Royal's.

Of her role at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, a source told us that Lady Louise previously requested a job in the offices during her university summer holidays and was "very polite and helpful" as she was put to work doing administrative tasks, such as sealing envelopes.

The insider told us: "Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward provided Lady Louise and her brother James with as normal an upbringing as possible, and this is clearly reflected in her work ethic.

"She is very grounded and down-to-earth; you wouldn't know she was a royal. It was her idea to ask for a part-time job. She's very hard-working," they added. 

Will Louise ever be an official working royal?

Louise's incredible work ethic; it was always the plan for her to "work for a living".

Duchess Sophie previously told the Sunday Times: "We try to bring them up with the understanding that they are very likely to have to work for a living.

"Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles. They have them and can decide to use them from 18, but I think it's highly unlikely."

Sophie added: "I  guess not everyone's grandparents live in a castle, but where you are going is not the important part, or who they are. When they are with the Queen, she is their grandmother."
