Royal Family News – Lady Louise is Queen Elizabeth’s Seventh Grandchild

In 2016 the Countess of Wessex revealed in an interview what her kids call the Queen. The interview ws in honor of the Queen’s 90th birthday and the proud mom let it be known that her son and daughter call Her Majesty “grandmama.”

Sophie told Sky News, “I mean Louise had no concept really that the Queen and her grandmother were one and the same person.” So how did Lady Louise Windsor find out who her grandmother is? Where else but in school!

According to her mom, “It wasn’t until she was at school that other children were mentioning it and saying, ‘Your gran is the Queen’. And she’d come home and say, ‘Mummy, they say that Grandmama is the Queen.’ And I said, ‘Yes,’ and she said, ‘I don’t understand what they mean.’”

The Queen and Prince Philip’s youngest child said, “I can’t necessarily remember when that realization was there. When you grow up in that family and in that environment, that’s just what your parents do.”

“It’s been much more interesting watching our children growing up, and watching our children trying to work out what this, and how that works. It was probably not until five or six I think.”

The concept of grandma being the queen also confounded a young Prince Harry. It’s been reported that one time a courtier at Sandringham told him, “The Queen will be here at teatime,” and he replied, “Who’s the Queen?” My how times change.
