If you doing something 70% of young people are doing, (without any fanfare) even makes the papers and people ohhh and ahhh over it, perhaps it's an indicator that they're already perceived as special princesses. I cringe at stories like this where celebs do mundane ordinary things and it's lionised by the papers as oh so special.
A bit like 'such and such celebrity's child that went to an all expenses paid private school with private tutoring passed their GCSEs/A-levels! Ta da!!! Read all about it!
This is all part of it. They're set up for a high profile career already.
Though I get, poster, you're personally just saying they went uni, and that is a good thing definitely. It's the curated media spotlight (are these set up in advance or chance stories, chance photographers?) and the tone of specialness they give. By contrast I think Princess Beatrice went to a relatively bog standard uni with no media fanfare.
