Perhaps she might join Beatrice at Goldsmiths College where her sister plans to study textiles.
Meanwhile Princess Beatrice has been learning a new skill while on holiday in Thailand.
She acquired her PADI Open Water scuba-diving certificate in Koh Tao.
"Beatrice and a few friends learned the basics and went for a dive, which they loved," according to a source.
Apparently, the traditional celebration for passing the course involves filling a snorkel with a local spirit and downing it in one.
