The UK has welcomed a new Princess! Queen Letizia and King Felipe of Spain’s daughter Princess Leonor arrived at UWC Atlantic on Monday to begin her two-year program in Wales. Following the 15-year-old royal’s arrival in the UK, Casa de S.M. el Rey released photos of the future Queen of Spain at her new school, which looks fits for royalty! When she didn’t have her mask on, the Princess was all smiles strolling around the campus grounds.

The UWC Atlantic website states that accommodation for students centers “around dormitory-style bedrooms for four students, modern bathrooms complemented by bright, attractive study areas, day rooms and kitchens.”

Leonor isn’t the only Princess on campus. Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands’ daughter, Princess Alexia, also left home to attend the school in Wales.
According to RTL Boulevard, Alexia knows the Spanish Princess, but not very well. The Dutch King has said, “I’m sure they will get along well.”
