The little known Welsh college full of princesses, children of millionaires, and refugees
Lydia Stephens
With kings, actors, princesses, and leading lawyers and writers among their alumni, there is a lot this little known Welsh college can boast about, including having many students amongst its number who come from very different circumstances.
Many of the students at Atlantic College in St Donats Castle in the Vale of Glamorgan pay £33,500-a-year for the privilege of being there and brushing shoulders with royalty. But half are there on scholarships and come from far humbler backgrounds. Applications for a place are completely anonymous, even those from people such as Princess Leonor, the crown princess of Spain.
