Norwegian Princess Ingrid Alexandra reveals she is moving to Australia to study in Sydney
Norway's Princess Ingrid Alexandra has announced she will move to Australia to study at the University of Sydney. The glamorous young princess, 21 — who be likely one day become the Queen of Norway — will study a Bachelor of Arts degree, starting in August. 'Her Royal Highness Princess Ingrid Alexandra will begin her studies at the University of Sydney in August, enrolling in a Bachelor of Arts program,' the royal house announced at the weekend. 'She has chosen a three-year degree with a focus on international relations and political economy. 'Her Royal Highness looks forward to dedicating herself to her studies in the years to come.' The down-to-earth princess will live at the university's campus in Camperdown, not far from the Harbour City's CBD. The University of Sydney is considered one of the most prestigious institutions in Australia. The Princess is the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit. She is second in line to the throne, after her father. She is a grandchild of King Harald V. The King is said to have a net worth of between $30 million and $100 million. The Princess is set to take a step back from official appearances while she studies. The royal certainly isn't the first to study in Australia. Danish Count Nikolai of Monpezat studied at the University of Technology, Sydney. And King Charles also famously spent time two terms at Geelong Grammar in Victoria at the age of 17.
