I know you can take steps when kids are young to strengthen the effected eye muscles by blocking the normal eye. Doesn't seem they have done that with Louise. It's strange because it is correctable. Unless there's something else wrong with her.

IIRC, she was born at 7 months gestation and with a placentae abruptio (where the placenta tears away from the uterus before childbirth), which can cause developmental delays and in the worst case scenario, stillbirth. Sophie was reported to be close to death from hemorrhaging and Louise was touch and go for a while.

Unless there's something else wrong with her. They did do that. There are pictures of her wearing an eye covering. It's not necessarily entirely correctible, even with surgery. I have two friends with strabismus and they had eye patches and extensive surgery in childhood and both still have noticeable off-centered-ness in one eye and vision problems. We can assume they had the best surgeons and got the prognosis that surgery wouldn't help with Louise's case. And yes, she's a dead ringer for the young Princess Anne. |

I love this sweet picture of the Queen and Louise and her brother, James. |

That's my favorite photo of the queen, I think. I only hope I'm still riding when I'm her age.

The thing I like about that picture is that she doesn't look like a queen, just a proud grandma out with her grandchildren. Now, I know that not every grandma has the finest bred horses for herself and her grandkids, but just hanging out with them like this really humanizes a lady who's very serious at all her public events.

The first thing it reminded me of was walks with my grandma in the woods near my grandparents cabin. The best thing: those kids look like they're actually having a good time. Out riding with Granny--best day ever! |
