Another European royal, heir to the throne, is moving to the United States.

Another European royal, heir to the throne, is moving to the United States.

Princess Madeleine of Sweden in Florida, Prince Joachim of Denmark in Washington, D.C., the former Japanese Princess Mako (Mako Komuro after her marriage) in New York, Princess Martha Louise of Norway, and perhaps most famously, the British Prince Harry.

And the United States is about to become home to another European royal and heir to the throne. Princess Elisabeth of Belgium moved to the United States to attend Harvard University, and the 22-year-old will enroll in a master's program this summer, People reports.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant, will begin a master's program in public policy at Harvard University (Harvard Kennedy School) in Boston this summer. This two-year course will complete Her Royal Highness' undergraduate education, which includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Political Science from Oxford University (Lincoln College). Her Royal Highness has also been selected for an honorary award from the Fulbright Program, the U.S. State Department's international exchange program in education."

The latest update from the Palace was shared along with one of Elisabeth's glamorous birthday portraits, released on the eve of her 22nd birthday last October. People reports, "Like many young contemporary heiresses, Princess Elisabeth has stepped into public service by focusing on her studies and occasionally shadowing her parents." 'In March, she and her father (King Philip) hosted a special guest (former U.S. President Barack Obama) at Castle Laeken.' (Philip also received a master's degree in the U.S. and studied for two years at Stanford University, where he earned a master's degree in political science.

Elisabeth also has an International Baccalaureate from the United World College of the Atlantic in Wales, a popular choice for some royal teens.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom in September 2022 and the abdication of Queen Margrethe of Denmark in January of this year, there are currently no female monarchs worldwide, but in addition to Belgium, the future monarchs of Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, and Norway will all be women, so many European countries the shortage of female monarchs will one day end.
