The Dutch royal palace announced last week that King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima's second daughter, Princess Alexia, is heading to University College London (UCL) in September.
After taking a gap year where she admitted she was "a bit stressed" about her university choice, the 19-year-old will study Science & Engineering for Social Change.
Alexia isn't the first European royal to move to the UK for education, with many monarchs among the cohort opting to attend school or university.
