Not Groningen, but Great Britain
The announcement comes after months of speculation about where Alexia would choose to study following her gap year.
It looked like the Princess was heading for the Dutch north, after a leak revealed her email address registration with Groningen University. However, she admitted in June that she was still undecided.

Now, she has made her decision and will set off for education in the English capital.
Perhaps some of her fellow students there will refrain from mentioning THAT semi-final to the special student. 😉
What do you think about the Princess’s decision to study in England? Let us know in the comments below.
Her entire life so far has been based on goals, possibly a Royal trait but certainly a Dutch one. Therefore to reach whatever goal you ascend to, always take the best path available to you, not the one that makes others happy. Her goals, her decisions, and she will continue to make her family proud, and hopefully the entire citizenry of the Netherlands.
