Royal Studies: Princess Elisabeth's Harvard Journey Continues Amid Controversy

Princess Elisabeth, the 23-year-old heir to the Belgian throne, has received confirmation that she can continue her studies at Harvard University despite initial concerns arising from a U.S. government move to ban foreign students. The Belgian Royal Palace's communication director, Xavier Baert, announced these developments on Tuesday.

In May, concerns were raised when the Trump administration announced a ban on foreign nationals studying at Harvard, but a federal judge blocked this action. The administration's stance was aimed at challenging perceived institutional biases, although these claims are disputed by universities.

The future queen is entering her second year of a master's program in Public Policy at Harvard, which aims to equip students with skills for public service. Despite the ongoing legal battle, about 27% of Harvard's student body remains international, highlighting the institution's global reach.
