Princess Elisabeth has completed first year of master’s degree but Trump administration’s crackdown may jeopardise studies

Princess Elisabeth, the 23-year-old future queen of Belgium, has just completed her first year at Harvard University but the ban imposed by Donald Trump’s administration on foreign students studying there could jeopardise her continued attendance.

The US president’s administration revoked Harvard’s ability to enrol international students on Thursday, and is forcing current foreign students to transfer to other schools or lose their legal status in the US, while also threatening to expand the crackdown to other colleges.

“Princess Elisabeth has just completed her first year. The impact of [the Trump administration’s] decision will only become clearer in the coming days/weeks. We are currently investigating the situation,” said a spokesperson for the Belgian royal palace, Lore Vandoorne.

    We finally found an immigrant that deserves to be sent to a prison in El Salvador. Other than Musk, that is.

      Apparently, you know something about our crown princess we don’t know yet. Or are you just insulting a random person you don’t know anything about?

          Sure, fuck royalty, etc. But is really royalty the ones who are setting and getting the taxes in Belgium (genuine question) and if yes, is really the to-be queen the one who did it (rethorical question, i’d be surprised if that was the cas)?

            Let’s say their political influence is informal. It’s nonetheless very much existent. Not her specifically.

            Also I’m still pissed because as a kid we waited for a whole rainy afternoon just so we could see those two assholes weaves at us peasants for two minutes.
