    Belgium Palace has issued a statement for Princess Elisabeth who is an international student in Harvard.

    Princess Elisabeth, the future queen of Belgium, is one of the 6,800 foreign students enrolled in Harvard University, whose fate now hangs in the balance as the Donald Trump administration barred the university from taking international students.As Harvard sued Trump, a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration’s ban on the student exchange program but the future is still uncertain.The legal status of the 23-year-old princess is not know. The Royal Palace has issued a statement on the situation. “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,” the Belgian Royal Palace’s spokesperson Lore Vandoorne said.“We are analyzing this at the moment and will let things settle. A lot can still happen in the coming days and weeks,” the Palace’s communication director, Xavier Baert, added.Princess Elisabeth is studying Public Policy at Harvard, a two-year master’s degree program.In the fall last year, the princess moved to the US to study at Harvard after completing her undergraduate degree from Oxford University. At Oxford, Elisabeth studied History and Politics, enrolling under the name “Elisabeth de Saxe-Coburg”. The palace earlier announced that the princess passed the entrance exams to Harvard and was selected for a Fullbright award. Elisabeth is the eldest child of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde and will be the next monarch, despite having a younger brother, as the country changed laws favoring male offspring back in 1991.Princess finds herself caught in the battle as the Trump administration asked Harvard to toe its line by submitting records that they sought — mostly of international students engaging in illegal activities or violence on protests. The administration yesterday gave the university as 72-hour ultimatum but the university knocked the court and got a temporary stay against the administration.
