That's not Margaret on the purse and the two children definitely aren't David and Sarah. They kids on the purse appear to blonde boys.
I wonder if she received the purse as a gift at the party? You know sometimes guest get a gift at the end of the party.
Or is it a way of being seen to be the 'favoured' line of descent? That argument is one I have seen elsewhere - that Edward and Sophie have pushed her to enjoy 'grandpa's sport' so that can further ingratiate themselves into being the 'favourite' child and in-law of The Queen and Philip.
Who knows?
Maybe there is some truth in that and maybe she chose the sport because she really likes it but it isn't really a 'young person's' sport is it?

Agrees!That's pretty cynical. Maybe Louise spent time with grandpa and thought it looked fun. She seems to like horses anyway. The Wessexes do spend a lot of time at Windsor since they live nearby. I doubt a kid could feign interest to ingratiate herself or family.
I think part of the reason the Queen and Philip seem so close to the Wessex children is that they live so close to them. Only Beatrice and Eugenie lived similarly close growing up and they are now older and have their own lives.
Its said the kids go over to Windsor to ride and maybe during these visits Louise saw Philip carriage driving and thought it looked good to try out herself.
I don't think there is anything cynical in it, I think the Queen and Philip probably just reached a slightly more mellow part of their lives the same time Louise and James were old enough to share their interests a little and living so close the Queen and Philip embraced it.

Thanks Dman!The Queen and Prince Philip are out enjoying their favorite hobbies-
The Queen and Prince Philip go horse riding in the sun | Daily Mail Online
Not even Britain's heatwave will stop the Queen from partaking in a morning horse ride at the age of 91.
On the eve of Royal Ascot, Her Majesty was spotted going for a leisurely stroll at Windsor Castle, sporting a beige ensemble as she rode a petite black horse across the grounds.
The monarch's ride comes as the UK sizzles in record-breaking temperatures, with the Public Health England (PHE) urging families to keep an eye on their neighbours during the sweltering conditions.
