Norway’s Princess Ingrid Alexandra moves to Sydney for university

Norway’s Princess Ingrid Alexandra is moving to Australia for her university studies, enrolling in a degree programme at the University of Sydney.

Alexandra, who is second in line to Norway’s throne, will join her classmates from August and will study “international relations and political economy,” Norway’s royal household said.

The 21-year-old will study full-time and live in a student residence on campus, a university spokesperson said.

Norway’s King Harald is Alexandra’s grandfather and her father is Crown Prince Haakon.

“Her Royal Highness looks forward to dedicating herself to her studies in the years to come,” Norway’s royal household said in a statement.

The princess’s mother, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, spent a year during her senior school studies at Wangaratta High School in Victoria.

The University of Sydney is looking forward to welcoming the princess, said its vice-president, Kirsten Andrews.

“We know how valuable the campus experience is and we hope the Princess makes the most of our beautiful grounds and surrounds, clubs and societies, as well as our proximity to the best Sydney has to offer,” Ms Andrews said in a statement.

Born and raised in Oslo, the princess recently completed her military service, spending 15 months as an engineer soldier and rifleman.

Her biography on the royal family’s website lists environmental protection and climate change as key interests.
