Connecting with a partner’s parents is never easy, but it seems to have gone well for Lady Louise Windsor’s rumoured boyfriend Felix da Silva-Clamp.
The couple were spotted with her mother, Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh, at the Sandringham Festival of Carriage Driving on June 29.
There, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh competed in the prestigious Horse Driving Trials.
And her rumoured partner got on well with her mother.
This is not the first time that romance has been in the air for the pair at this event.
In 2024, Lady Louise took Felix for a spin in her carriage, with Hello! reporting that they were “very comfortable together”.
“They went for a couple of walks together in between her two events as well – they are clearly very close,” an onlooker told the publication.
At the time, Felix was also spotted chatting to Sophie at the trials as Louise prepared to compete.
He then joined Louise and her father, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, 61, the following day to watch Sophie, 60, take part in the event.
“Felix and [Sophie] looked very at ease with each other,” the onlooker shared with Hello! at the time.
“They turned up in the car just 10 minutes before Louise’s first event and watched her eagerly.”
Who is Felix da Silva Clamp?
Scotland’s University of St Andrews was famously the backdrop for the Prince and Princess of Wales’ fairytale romance.
It has also been the place where love has potentially blossomed between Lady Louise Windsor and her rumoured beau.
It is believed that the pair met when they were cast to star in a student play about two years ago.
While he is the son of British solicitor Jonathan Charles William da Silva-Clamp, he also has strong ties to Australia thanks to his mother Kendall Clamp.
He lived here between 2017 and 2022, attending high school at the prestigious Melbourne Grammar School.
He also worked at a bistro called Ânerie, in Cowes, on Phillip Island, Victoria, the same town where The Block 2024 was filmed.
Where will Lady Louise Windsor live with Felix da Silva-Clamp?
At one point, the couple were reportedly considering a move to Sydney for a year abroad, where they would study at Macquarie University, and spend time with Felix’s Aussie relatives.
“She’s exactly halfway through her degree course and this is the point where students decide whether they want to study abroad or remain in Scotland,” a royal insider shared with the Daily Express in 2024.
News of Louise’s romance comes after it was reported that she might shun becoming a full-time working royal in favour of a more quiet life.
Commentator Alison Lancaster told GB News that Louise, who is studying English literature, “likely knows she would be mercilessly analysed under the world’s biggest microscope – her looks and relationships, etc.
“Every candid moment is a potential PR bonfire to contain.”
