Does your 16-year-old daughter allow two years to study abroad? | Join the conversation

Alexia is now 15 years old, but when she travels to Wales she was only 16 years old. Alexia is not alone Royal Who goes to Wales. It was recently announced that Spanish Princess Leonor (15) will also attend the United World College of the Atlantic in Wales. Alexia is now in her fourth year at the Christelijk Gymnasium Sorghvliet in The Hague. She completed her career in High School in Wales.

Her father, King Willem Alexander, himself enrolled at the University Medical Center in Wales from 1983 to 1985. King Willem Alexander once said in the word “The opportunity to live in a group of 350 young people of my age of 65 different nationalities, from completely different backgrounds, was unique.” Additionally, the king indicated at the time that it was his choice to go to Wales. “Look, I didn’t find myself difficult and my parents didn’t find themselves difficult, but we found each other difficult.”

We don’t know Alexia’s motivations for attending United World College of the Atlantic in Wales.
