The heir to the Spanish throne is to study in Wales from this summer, it has been announced.

Princess Leonor de Borbon, 15, the elder of two daughters of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, will attend Atlantic College, based at St Donat's Castle in the Vale of Glamorgan.

The princess, who turns 16 in October, will begin her £67,000 two-year course at the boarding school this summer.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia will personally meet the cost of the course.

She applied for a place through the United World Colleges (UWC)'s Spanish committee.
