I rarely agree with comments like this, I default to trusting the mob over self-anointed editors of social media, It's actually against the rules to comment on it. But it's true. This will provide little value to the wider conversations and she's largely an innocent bystander in world events, outside of some fuel for low quality political platitudes.
Wealthy kids get the very best schooling since childhood and often have tons of pressure to succeed. Just because some exploit nepotism does not mean all do, and many often exhibit high academic aptitude with all the required side stuff to make them interesting. Not every world leader's kid goes to Harvard either or is capable of either.
It should also be of no surprise that a wealthy child from a country in the emerging/growth stage with a median income of $12k is going to the most advanced country in the world to study.
The children of leaders getting exposure to western society and academia is also arguably a good thing.
Furthermore, the guidelines explicitly note that these types of articles are off-topic - politics, generally.
I have avoided commenting on this since, as you wrote, it's not kosher, but I have noticed an increase in political articles (unrelated to tech) that make it to the front page. It is worrying to me.
The selection tends to be far more of the classic high-quality HN style and less Reddit-y.
The politically obsessed people already ruined Twitter, which for some reason doesn't let you opt-out of seeing some random hyper-politicized tweet that a person you followed 6yrs ago liked (not even retweeted). It's natural that their "my pet political issues are more important than everything you care about" mentality is expanding onto other platforms when it's been so encouraged elsewhere.
