Meet the princesses who will one day reign over various countries in Europe, starting from the Netherlands, to Sweden, to Belgium.
She walked through the throne room in an elegant coat and everyone was staring at her. Elisabeth of Belgium, who recently joined the Royal Military Academy, celebrated her 18th birthday at the Royal Palace in Brussels on October 25, 2019. There she received the “Grand Cordon de l'Ordre de Léopold”, the most prestigious award given by Belgium, after promising that "the country can count on her". Elisabeth's fate is already setup: she will become Queen of the Belgians when her father, King Philippe, passes away.
Like her, other princesses are also preparing to follow the footsteps of their ancestors. From Victoria of Sweden to Amalia of Luxembourg, these heiresses will one day sit on the thrones of various countries in Europe. Their first inspiration will be the ultimate commitment of Queen Elizabeth II.
