Norwegian Princess Ingrid Alexandra enrolls in the University of Sydney degree program and moves to Australia for university studies.
Alexandra, second-largest on the Norwegian throne, will join her classmates starting in August and study “international relations and political and economics,” the Norwegian royal said.
The 21-year-old studies full-time and lives in a student housing complex on campus, a university spokesperson said.
Harald, king of Norway, is Alexandra’s grandfather, and her father is Prince Hacon.
“Her Royal Highness looks forward to devote herself to her research over the next few years,” the Norwegian royal family said in a statement.
Princess Crown Prince Mette Maritt, the princess’ mother, spent a year studying at senior school at Wangaratta High School in Victoria.
The University of Sydney looks forward to welcoming the princess, said its vice president, Kirsten Andrews.
“We know how valuable the campus experience is and we hope that the princesses will make the most of our beautiful grounds and surroundings, clubs and society.
The Princess, born and raised in Oslo, recently completed her military service and spent 15 months as an engineer soldier and rifleman.
Her biography on the royal website lists environmental protection and climate change as important concerns.
