Had Louise already done her GCSEs? (I’m assuming so since she is starting her A Levels). It will be interesting to see where she goes to university!
Yes. It was mentioned at the time of the Windsor horse show that Louise would not be participating as she was busy with exams.

And then there was this about her waiting for her results.

Why don’t British royals take A-level Maths or Physics ? Maybe Prince Richard of Gloucester did.
Likely based on what degree they are considering in university. There are recommended A levels for certain degree paths if you already know what you hope to study in university.
Zara- took a degree in physiotherapy (did her A levels in Biology, PE and geography)
Peter-cant find what he did his a levels in, but he did his university degree in sports sciences
William-Geoggraphy, Biology, history of art. Originally went for degree in history of art but switched to geography
Harry- art and geography
Beatrice-drama, history and film studies. Did a degree in history and history of ideas.
Eugenie-art, history of art and literature. Took a degree in English literature and history of art
None of Louise's cousins took an university path where either physics or math would have been a benefit to their study path. A levels are helping prepare you for further study so it makes sense none took them.
Older generation:
Charles: A levels in history and French. Took degree in anthropology, archaeology and history.
Andrew: English, history and economics. Like Harry, he didn't go on to university, straight to navy
Edward: English, history and politics. He studied history at University
Anne: English history and politics.
Prince Richard would have taken maths of some kind if he knew he would want to become an architect. And a science though physics might not have been the choice for that.
