Princess Alexia of the Netherlands' major move to London revealed as exciting details of University course confirmed
Princess Alexia will relocate to London in just a few weeks after it was reported on Friday that she will attend University College London to study Science & Engineering for Social Change.
According to the NL Times, the second daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima made her decision somewhat last minute, enrolling herself on several different courses at different universities until she made her decision.
In June, the 19-year-old admitted she was "a bit stressed about choosing" where to study, with other options including the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
This won’t be the first time the Dutch royal has studied in the UK. Between 2021 and 2023, Alexia attended the United World College of the Atlantic in Wales, following in her father's footsteps.
After finishing college, Alexia took a gap year. Discussing her plans for the year off, she said, "A bit of travelling, working, and all sorts of things."
During her gap year, Alexia made her first official solo royal appearance at the naming ceremony of the vessel VOX Alexia in Rotterdam.
