Princess Ingrid Ditches Tiaras for Thongs in Sydney!

Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway appears to be settling into life Down Under – including adopting some very Aussie fashion stylings.

The 21-year-old future queen, who is currently studying at Sydney University, could have been mistaken for a ‘common’ local when she stepped out on Saturday.

Sporting a pair of West Hollywood Running Club track pants and a shorty T that exposed her smooth midriff, the fair-haired Royal looked right at home.

She completed her look with the quintessential Australian footwear choice – a pair of rubber thongs.

Wearing her long hair in a ponytail, Princess Ingrid appeared makeup-free and accessorised with a pair of gold hoop earrings and a pair of black sunglasses she wore on the top of her head.

It looked to be an enjoyable outing for the stylish member of the Norwegian Royal Family.

Her Aussie casual wear was a far cry from the usually polished gowns and tailored ensembles she is seen in at official royal engagements back home in Norway.

It comes after the Princess was pictured walking around her Sydney University campus with two packets of Tim Tams in August.

The 21-year-old was gifted the beloved Aussie biscuits by her local friend, who has been helping Ingrid transition into life Down Under. 

The Aussie pal was clearly in the know, purchasing popular flavours Double Coat and Chewy Caramel.

The biscuits are no doubt study supplies now that Freshers’ Week has come to a close and classes are in full swing.

The pair could be seen taking a selfie on Ingrid’s digital camera before continuing to walk through the university.

The royal family member looked stylish on the day in a blue cardigan, white trousers and a striped headband by Swedish brand Djerf Avenue.

Ingrid, who is second in line to the throne after her father, arrived in Australia in July.

She posed on campus for a series of photos which she uploaded to Instagram.

The Royal Household’s full statement from Ingrid read: ‘I’m looking forward to starting my studies at the University of Sydney.

‘It will be exciting to become a student, and I’m looking forward to gaining new perspectives on both European and international politics.

‘I’m sure I will learn a lot.’

She marked the joyous occasion with a series of images taken around what appeared to be the University of Sydney campus.

While she is certainly adjusting to Australian party life, Ingrid appears to still be getting the hang of Aussie road rules.

She was recently spotted making a slight slip-up when she and a female friend tried to hop into a waiting Uber from the wrong side.

Evidently used to left-hand drive vehicles, the princess was seen reaching for the door handle on the driver’s side.

Her decision to move to Australia to continue her studies comes after she embarked on military training at the Engineer Battalion in Brigade Nord last year.
