Princess Ingrid Alexandra begins University journey with 'special visitors'

Princess Ingrid Alexandra, the future Queen of Norway, has met special visitors in Sydney.

The 21-year-old Norwegian royal previously confirmed that she would be heading to Sydney, Australia, to begin a three-year university degree in international relations and political economy. 

As she arrived on campus at the end of July, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit have also joined their daughter in Australia.

According to Se og Hor, Me, Mette-Marit, 51, has been in Sydney to support Ingrid Alexandra, while Haakon, 52, travelled there after a trip to Portugal.

Ingrid Alexandra’s decision to study abroad follows in the footsteps of her mother, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, who also spent time in Australia as a student.
