BRUSSELS: The 23-year-old future queen of Belgium, Princess Elisabeth, has just finished her first year at Harvard University, but her future education may be in jeopardy due to the US President Donald Trump’s administration’s restriction on international students attending the university.
In addition to compelling current international students to transfer to other institutions or risk losing their legal status in the US, the Trump administration on Thursday banned Harvard University from accepting international students and threatened to extend the crackdown to other universities.
Just now, Princess Elisabeth finished her first year. In the days and weeks ahead, the full consequences of [the Trump administration’s] decision will only become apparent. “We are looking into the matter right now,” said Lore Vandoorne, a spokesman for the Belgian Royal Palace.
