Princess Beatrice graduates from college
(CBS) Princess Beatrice turned heads (and raised eyebrows) with the now-infamous hat she wore to cousin Prince William's wedding in April, but she chose a more traditional sort of topper for her college graduation.
The 23-year-old donned a cap and gown for her graduation from Goldsmiths College in London on Friday.
Her parents, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah, Duchess of York, were both on hand for the occasion.
"Beatrice graduating today from Goldsmiths today. So proud of her achievement. As all mothers/parents are, well done.. All graduates," the proud mom shared on Twitter.
The 23-year-old princess, who is fifth in line for the British throne, graduated with a degree in history and history of ideas, according to the U.K.'s Daily Mail.
"I have had the most amazing university experience. Goldsmiths College is a wonderful place to study," Beatrice said. "I am so lucky to have had the support of the incredible tutors and staff. I am so excited about my results. I wish everyone graduating today congratulations as well."
So, what's next for the college graduate? A palace spokesperson told the Daily Mail: "Princess Beatrice will, over the coming months, broaden her knowledge and experience to complement her position as a Member of the Royal Family. This will involve undertaking a number of internships to develop her experience, particularly in business and philanthropy. She will also continue to be involved with her existing charitable interests and look to progress this work into other relevant areas."
