Elsewhere, it was last month announced Letizia’s daughter Infanta Sofía of Spain will attend United World College of the Atlantic in Wales on a two-year, £68,000 course.

The 15-year-old will follow in the footsteps of her sister Princess Leonor, 17, heir to the Spanish throne, who is in her last year at the specialist education college in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Sofía will become the latest in a long list of royal alumni at the college, including Princess Elisabeth, heir to the throne of Belgium, who graduated in 2020, and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands.

Situated at the 12th century St Donat’s Castle on the country’s south coast, the college, dubbed the ‘Hippie Hogwarts’, was founded by German educationalist Kurt Hahn.

School fees for the two-year course cost a whopping £68,000 and include Tai Chi, the theory of knowledge and Tibetan literature.
