Norwegian Princess Ingrid Alexandra Begins Studies at University of Sydney

Norway's future queen, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, will move to Sydney to begin a three-year Bachelor of Arts degree in international relations and political economy at the University of Sydney. She will live on campus and study full-time starting in August, stepping back from official royal duties during her time abroad. The University of Sydney is highly ranked globally, being 18th worldwide and second in Australia, and expressed enthusiasm about welcoming the princess. Princess Ingrid Alexandra is the eldest child of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit, and second in line to the Norwegian throne. Her move follows a recent trend of European royals studying in Australia, such as Danish Count Nikolai of Monpezat. The princess recently completed military training and graduated from Elvebakken Upper Secondary School in 2023.
