Alexandra is not the first member of the Luxembourg Grand Ducal family to attend college in the United States. Her brother, Louis, and his family are living in the Melbourne, Florida, area, where he attends the Florida Institute of Technology.
Her uncle, Prince Guillaume, graduated from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., in 1987.
As Luxembourg's succession law remains Semi-salic, Alexandra can only inherit the throne after all the eligible males. There have been discussions to change the law to allow for the succession of the first born child, but no legislation has been promulgated by Luxembourg's parliament.

I wonder how she ended up at Stubenville. It is a VERY small town near where I grew up. I bet the students around here are awe-struck if they know she is a princess
I am about an hour from there and meet up with friends in the area about once a month, now I will feel the need to look out for her when dining or shopping in the area.
I'm a student at Franciscan University of Steubenville, and the college is literally known around the world for it's high quality Catholic education, so that would be my guess as to why she's there. I don't remember ever seeing her or having her pointed out to me, though most everyone knows that she's there. I'm sure no one treats her any differently because I feel like I would have recognized it. I'm sure I've seen her or maybe even interacted with her since campus is so small, but I didn't know what she looked like until recently.
