A few summer holidays ago she was grafting at a garden centre for \u00a36.83 an hour.<\/p>\n<p>Shoppers described seeing her working at the tills and praised her for being &#8220;polite and attentive&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Then last Christmas the unassuming 17th in line to the throne was spotted sitting on the floor of a packed two-hour intercity train ride from London to Bristol, doing some university work on her laptop &#8211; after eschewing first class.<\/p>\n<p>So not precious, or capricious &#8211; unlike some divas who are soon jetting into the UK &#8211; Louise is a real gem.
