One Princess Is "Setting the Blueprint" for Future Royals and Insists on Being "Treated Like a Normal" Student at University
"Nothing changes."
Alongside their roles as Royal Family members, Prince William and Princess Kate have been attempting to give their children a relatively normal life. And in Europe, multiple royals are seemingly determined to experience life outside of the constraints of their official titles.
One such royal is Princess Leonor of Spain, who just so happens to be the heir to the Spanish throne.
Per the Daily Mail, "Despite her key position in the Spanish Royal Family, the daughter of King Felipe and Queen Letizia is set to be deliberately 'treated like a normal' student during her university tenure."
The university's rector told the outlet, "The royal household has made it very easy for us. Nothing changes."
Notably, according to the newspaper, "Despite their key roles in the Spanish monarchy, both Leonor and [her sister] Sofia have been deliberately kept out of the limelight—with a particular emphasis placed on their education by their parents."

Princess Leonor's style is also a hot topic, with the future monarch wearing on-trend sneakers and jeans for her first day at Carlos III University in Madrid, Spain on September 7.
Notably, Princess Leonor's Mexico 66 Sneakers in Birch/Peacoat hail from Onitsuka Tiger—a brand beloved by celebrities including Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner.
