Lady Louise Windsor proved she was just like any other teenager after raiding her mother’s wardrobe for an outfit perfect for church with the Queen yesterday.
Lady Louise, 16, borrowed the navy Stella McCartney Vivienne coat worth £1,135 from her mother Sophie Wessex, 54, who first wore it to the Commonwealth Day service in March last year.
The teenager cut a striking figure as she joined her grandmother, 93, and other senior royals including Prince Edward, 55, Prince Charles, 71, and Princess Anne, 69, for the service at the St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham yesterday.
And it’s not the first time in recent days the teenager has worn something from her mother’s wardrobe, having borrowed a different outfit from the royal for the Christmas Day service on Wednesday.

Lady Louise, who is the Queen’s youngest granddaughter, looked elegant in the navy coat yesterday, which she paired with matching L.K. Bennett Clemence pumps.
The teenager, who celebrated her sixteenth birthday last month, swept her hair back into a neat plait for the occasion.
Her mother Sophie was first seen wearing the coat to the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey in March last year.
At the time, she paired it with an eye-catching camel fascinator, a Sophie Habsburg bag and a pair of suede pointed pumps by Prada.
