Princess Elisabeth, the 23-year-old future Queen of Belgium, completed her first year at Harvard University, but the ban imposed by President Donald Trump's administration on foreign students studying there may jeopardize her continuation of studies.
On Thursday, the Trump administration decided to prevent Harvard University from enrolling foreign students and required those currently studying there to transfer to other universities or risk losing their legal status in the United States, also threatening to expand the campaign to include other universities.
The spokesperson for the Belgian Royal Palace, Laura Vanderlinden, said: "Princess Elisabeth has just completed her first year. The impact of Trump's administration decision will become clearer in the coming days and weeks. We are currently assessing the situation."
Meanwhile, the communications director at the Belgian Royal Palace, Xavier Bayart, said: "We are currently analyzing this matter... There are still many things that could happen in the coming days and weeks."
Elisabeth is studying public policy at Harvard, a two-year master's program.
Harvard filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Friday after the latter's decision to prevent them from accepting foreign students.
Harvard described this action as a "blatant violation" of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and other federal laws in the complaint filed with the federal court in Boston.
