Britain's Princess Eugenie (pictured) is reportedly planning to attend an American university.
The 19-year-old royal - who achieved two As and a B at A-level last year, the best results of any member of the royal family - is said to be keen to go to £31,000-a-year Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
According to claims, Eugenie's mother Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, travelled to the establishment on April 22 to talk about the possibility of Eugenie attending.
A university spokesman would only tell Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "I can't discuss private visits. If she had come here to speak at a public lecture, for example, then I would have been able to speak about that."
News of Eugenie's possible education plans has sparked further controversy as it could bump up the cost of her protection bill, which is funded by British taxpayers.
The princess' father Prince Andrew insisted she has police protection, which already costs £250,000.
She is currently on a gap year in India, South America, Australia and South Africa, which her protection officers have joined her on, said to add another £100,000 to the bill.
It has previously been argued the guards are a waste of funds, but it was one of the officers who stepped in to help when the princess and her friends were mugged in Cambodia recently.
Eugenie has previously hinted she was planning to study for an English and History degree at England's Bristol or Newcastle universities.

the mugging was ployed by the bodyguard to fool the British tax payers. and to discredit the cambodian police departments and nation. if i know that guards i probably shoot them in south africa to discredit their nation.
The mugging is real. I don't think her bodyguards would do that because it is very dangerous to stage a mugging. Also it would be a huge embarrassment to the princess.
Anyway, she is a smart girl because she is the only royalty who achieved the A's and B's results in her exams. Congrat to her.
what side are you on?if the mugging were real then no throwing stones can stop that thief.yes take that 250,000 and stop let that stupid princess from walking at night like that.you should hire cambodian as guards next time.
Mugging can happen anywhere in the world. It has nothing to do with discrediting the cambodian police. What upset the British was the cost of the security it cost the British taxpayers.
