The young royals of Spain and Norway are growing up quickly. Princess Leonor of Spain, 20, completed her military service and is starting university classes while her 19-year-old sister, Infanta Sofía, is starting her second year at Forward College. Prince Sverre Magnus of Norway, 20, has also chosen Forward College for his studies this fall, and in a new interview with Paris Match, the director of the university revealed that both Sverre Magnus and Sofía applied without using their royal titles.

The Spanish princess used her full name, Sofía de Borbón Ortiz, while King Haakon and Queen Mette-Marit's son applied under Sverre Magnus af Glücksborg.
