Check out which royals and celebrities rubbed shoulders at Ivy league colleges

06/29/2020 15:30 CEST Updated on June 29, 2020 13:32 UTC By HOLA! USA

The benefits of going to college are myriad, not just from the perspective of career opportunities but also because of the people you meet and the life skills acquired. Many European royals have taken advantage of the great range of courses at Ivy League colleges and equivalent universities in the US to broaden their knowledge and meet people they wouldn’t have normally crossed paths with. From  Princess Victoria of Sweden  who studied Political Science at Yale, where she could have brushed shoulders with the likes of  Lupita Nyong’o  to  King Felipe of Spain  who got a Master of Science in Foreign Service from Georgetown University. Take a look through our gallery of intellectually blessed celebrities and royals.

Brown University - Emma Watson

Harry Potter star Emma Watson studied English Literature at Brown University and graduated in 2014. On trying to blend in with her fellow students, she told The Sunday Times: “On the first day, I walked into the canteen and everyone went completely silent and turned to look at me, I had to say to myself, ‘It’s okay, you can do this. You just have to take a deep breath and gather your courage.’”

Other famous alumni from Brown University include John F Kennedy Jr, Eva Amurri and André Leon Talley

Harvard University – Prince Frederik of Denmark

The future king of Denmark studied Political Science at the Cambridge, Massachusetts university. When interviewed just after his arrival at the university he said: “These two weeks I’ve been here have shown...I’m not that famous here!”

Empress Masako of Japan also studied at Harvard, graduating with great distinction in economics. Her former professor recalled what she was like while there, saying: “She was a very quiet and serious girl, very different from the usual talkative American high school students.”

She found success at an early age in the 1994 hit movie Léon: The Professional but Natalie Portman was keen to step away from the limelight for a while and focus on expanding her horizons. She graduated from Harvard with a psychology degree in 2003.

Other famous faces who have sharpened their pencils – and minds – here include Tyra Banks, Rashida Jones and Matt Damon (who dropped out in 1992).
