Crown Princess Elisabeth of Belgium

Crown Princess Elisabeth is the future Queen of Belgium. As women have only been able to ascend the throne in Belgium since a constitutional amendment in the early 1990s, Princess Elisabeth is the first ever female heir to the throne in the small country. Just like the men before her, the 22-year-old took the oath of office last year. The eldest of four siblings completed her schooling in Wales and graduated from the Royal Military School in Belgium. Elisabeth is currently studying at Lincoln College, Oxford University. The Duchess of Brabant, as her official title is, is popular with the people.
