Crown Princess Elisabeth of Belgium and her classmates from The Royal Military Academy (RMA) will take their officer's oath in autumn. In the recent weeks, they participated in a summer camp that concludes their military training. The Belgian Royal Palace released various photos taken during the camp.
The camp focused on the training of platoon commanders and teaching them to lead a platoon of about thirty people. Theoretical lessons, tactical exercises and combat procedures placed them in the role of an officer for the first time. They also learned to use more complex weapons such as grenades and anti-tank weapons.
Quelle ressemblance avec son père quand je regarde le profil d'Elisabeth sur la 3ème photo !
ردحذفYes, without hair around her face and other female accessories the resemblance is really very striking. (GM)
حذفTulipe33, I agree. She does resemble her father.
حذفCongrats for this decision, on her part. I believe her brother will do the same. I must say great looking young people. css
ردحذفBefore king Baudouin changed the article in the constitution that only men could become king, It was expected of the Crown prince that he became a student at the Royal Military Academy. In Belgium the king has the highest rang in the army, navy, air-force, etc... As Elisabeth is the 1st Crown princess who will be Queen later, It is expected of her that she also follows the program of the RMA . In theory she has no choice, but one can see that she is well aware of her duties and is doing it with a lot of interest and courage. Rose
حذفIt's not the king who changed the Constitution. It's the Parliament.
حذفI fully agree with the analysis of Rose, however it is correct that it was a decision of the Parliament.
حذفShe is showing such promise, very outstanding young lady and Princess.
ردحذفAgree!
حذفI couldn’t have said it better. I really like this royal family - they all seem so decent and wonderfully warm. But equally determined to uphold their values and traditions. Wonderful examples of leadership.

What a courage. An example of a modern princess. I wish her good luck with her studies at the RMA. I hope she has taken a vacation now, she deserves it. Rose
ردحذفRespect!
ردحذفBrave, hard- working and beautiful Princess!
ردحذف👍👏👏👏👏
She is not crown princess of Belgium. She's the duchess of Brabant which is the title of the Belgian heir apparant. Do your research.
ردحذفExcuse me she IS the crown princess. When king Albert II became king, King Phillippe (then prince) became the title of Duke of Brabant. Nobody ever called him that way. It was prince Phillippe tout court. Now in Belgium it is Princess Elisabeth tout court. Everybody know she is the crown princess and sometimes she is called that way in the media but Duchess of Brabant is just a title that she has. I think there are a lot of Belgians that don't even know she is also Duchess of Brabant. When do you think she may be called crown princess then ? As far as I know there is only one that can called that way, she is the oldest child of the king. Just like in the Netherlands Princess Amalia is the crown princess because she is the oldest child of the king. Rose
حذفCannot she be both?
حذفWhy can’t you share your knowledge in a more pleasant way ? 🕊️
حذفI think there is no substantial difference between a heir apparent and a Crown Prince/ Princess.
حذفThey both refer to the first person or eldest child in a succession line to the throne.
It depends on the way the first successore Is Styles in the various monarchies.
Technically, also CP Frederick, CP Haakon and CP Victoria are heirs apparents as well.
Ops, sorry, the previous comment Is mine.
حذفIt was meant to be: the first successor/ descendant.
P. the original
Elisabeth IS the Crown Princess of Belgian and duchess of Brabant. It's not the same that Princess Anne is Royal Princess.
حذفShe is both. Belgian people known the title of duke or duchess of Brabant. Brabant is the name of two Belgian provinces (flemish and franch).

In fact she is crown princess, but her official title is Duchess of Brabant.
حذفI like her family name. It's so simple :-). Zofia
ردحذفHer family name is von Sachsen (or Saxen) Coburg. It is also the name she uses at the University of Oxford. She is also called Princess Elisabeth of Belgium. Her brother Gabriel is also using von Saxen Coburg in the Royal Military Academy. Rose
حذفLe titre de duc de Brabant a été créé lorsque l'empereur Frédéric Barberousse éleva en 1183/1184 le landgraviat de Brabant en duché en faveur de Henri Ier de Brabant. En 1190, Henri Ier (1183 – 1235) succède à son père Godefroid III de Louvain comme duc de Basse-Lotharingie (Lothier), mais sans autorité territoriale ou judiciaire en dehors de ses propres comtés. À partir de 1288, les ducs de Brabant deviennent aussi ducs de Limbourg.
حذفActuellement, le titre de duc ou duchesse de Brabant désigne, depuis l'arrêté royal du 16 décembre 1840, le fils ou la fille aînée du roi des Belges, prince héritier ou princesse héritière du trône de Belgique.
Het is pas nadat Koning Boudewijn de Salische wet heeft aangepast dat België een kroonprinses kon hebben. Daarvoor konden alleen mannen (prinsen) koning worden.
حذفThe name of the king and the queen and theirs children is "de Belgique". The name of others members of royal family is von Sachsen Cobourg. I know ! Belgium is not simply. We also have three official languages.
ردحذفThe name of Princess Elisabeth is "de Belgique" not Saxe-Cobourg.
