The Queen's granddaughter Lady Louise Windsor has been working at a garden centre over the summer for near minimum wage.
The 18-year-old daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex has been earning £6.63 per hour this summer since finishing her A-levels in June, working several days a week - despite living in a £30million mansion in Bagshot Park, Surrey.
She confirmed her place at St Andrews University after receiving her A-level results, Buckingham Palace has announced today. She will read English at the Scottish university.
Lady Louise is said to have been helping out on the tills, greeting customers, pruning and potting plants at the garden centre.
One shopper said: 'I knew the cost-of-living crisis was bad, but I didn't think I'd ever see a grandchild of the Queen working in a garden centre,' she told The Sun.

Another who was served by the royal said: 'I couldn't believe it was Lady Louise, I had to look twice.
'She is a really modest and sweet young woman who is polite and attentive to customers. She seemed to be loving the job.
'You'd never imagine the Queen's grand-daughter would take on a role working behind a till.'
Another customer added: 'The staff seemed to adore her. It's not every day you buy your begonias off a royal.'
Editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine told the publication: 'Isn't it wonderful the Queen's granddaughter rolled her sleeves up and got her hands dirty with a summer job before going to university — just like any other normal teenager.'
Lady Louise studied AS level English, History, Politics and Drama at her school in Ascot, near the family's home of Bagshot Park.
