Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway, aged 21 and second in line to the Norwegian throne, has relocated to Australia to pursue higher education. She is the daughter of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit and is expected to become the future monarch.
Commencing her bachelor's degree in social sciences at the University of Sydney this August, the princess will temporarily suspend her royal duties to devote herself fully to her studies. According to official statements from the Royal House of Norway, "Her Royal Highness looks forward to dedicating herself to her studies in the years to come."
Princess Ingrid Alexandra is expected to live in on-campus student accommodation during her time at the university. The University of Sydney expressed enthusiasm for her enrollment and educational aspirations.
Born and raised in Oslo, the princess recently completed 15 months of military service, serving as an engineer soldier and rifleman. Notably, during her school years, her mother spent a year living with her at Wangaratta High School in Victoria, Australia, reflecting the family's prior connection to the country.
