There, I’ve upgraded her title too!

That was my first thought, too. Louise is the only one of that family of four who gets no new title because the courtesy title for the daughters of earls are the same as for daughters of dukes. Again missed out on the Royal front...

The courtesy title may be the same, but Louise has moved up two "rungs" on the precedence scale. Daughter of an Earl > (daughter of a Marquess) > daughter of a Duke.

I think Louise already had precedence over all of them by being a daughter of a Prince/granddaughter of the Sovereign.
