Many countries in Europe have royal families, and compared to the British royal family, which staged love-hate bubble dramas all day, the Belgian royal family is quite low-key.
Recently, Belgian Crown Prince Princess Elizabeth celebrated her 21st birthday, and the Belgian royal family posted two beautiful photos of the princess on Twitter, which instantly ignited international public opinion and became an international "coquettish" point.
In the photo, Princess Elizabeth leans against the window and looks out the window.
Long blonde hair naturally falls, no fancy clothes, no jewelry, the young princess dresses in white simple clothes to show elegance and comfort, with gold earrings, the whole person exudes an outstanding noble temperament, and the quasi-queen style is undoubtedly revealed.
Two years ago, Princess Elizabeth, who celebrated her 18th birthday, made a splash when she announced that she would follow in the footsteps of her father, King Philip, and officially enter the Royal Military Academy of Belgium.
The Royal Military Academy is a Belgian military academy that will serve in four components of the Belgian Defence Corps: Army, Air Force, Navy and Medical Corps.
Although she was a girl, as a future monarch, Princess Elizabeth still chose to enter a military school to gain an in-depth understanding of her country's military strength.
Her father, King Philip, studied at the academy from 1978 to 1981.
其实，比利时现任国王菲利普跟英国王室也有亲戚关系。
Counting it, his father, King Albert II, and the recently deceased Queen Elizabeth II of England were cousins.
The first king of Belgium was the uncle of Queen Victoria of England, who of course was also the ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II. They are all descendants of the Duke of Saxony-Coburg.

Of course, the British royal family has a great cause, plus all kinds of romantic affairs one after another, from Edward VIII, who voluntarily gave up the throne for the sake of red face before World War II, to the sister of the British queen in the 50s of the last century, Margaret, who was recognized as the most beautiful princess, fell in love with a civilian colonel who was married and had children, caused a storm of opposition from the Church of England, and then to Princess Diana, who later developed information and was famous all over the world but died young, a tragic and happy farce staged by the British royal family has made the British royal family the world's largest royal IP.
People also like the occasional small dynamic of low-key "little freshness" like the Belgian royal family.
Princess Elizabeth is the eldest daughter of King Philip and Queen Mathilde, and is the first in line to the Belgian royal family.
Belgium has gone a step further in this regard for equality between men and women – in 1991 it amended its inheritance laws to ensure that children have the same inheritance rights regardless of gender.
The United Kingdom, on the other hand, only enacted the new Succession to the Throne Act in 2013. In this way, William and Kate's second child, Princess Charlotte, is still the third in line to the throne, and will not change due to the birth of his brother Prince Louis.

In this way, if King Philip abdicates and Princess Elizabeth ascends the throne, she will become the first "queen" in the history of Belgium.
Therefore, although Princess Elizabeth is a girl, she is still cultivated according to the king.
After graduating from high school, Princess Elizabeth attended UWC Atlantic College, Europe's favourite boarding school, where she studied history and politics at Lincoln College, Oxford.
Later, he entered the Royal Military Academy of Belgium. In July of this year, she successfully completed a year-long training in social and military sciences.
Princess Elizabeth also participated in the Yale Global Young Scholars Program, which can be called both literary and talented.
French, Dutch and German are the official languages of Belgium. In addition, Princess Elizabeth is fluent in English and has learned a little Chinese.
In terms of language alone, compared to the British royal family, the gap is not half a little.
Prince William, the first in line to the British crown, knows only a little French in addition to English.
It seems that the Queen of England does not attach much importance to academic education, as can be seen from the daughters-in-law the princes are looking for: Diana did not graduate from high school, Prince Andrew's ex-wife Fuki and now Queen Camilla are only high school graduates.

这似乎也从侧面反映了为何这么多年来，英国王室都是鸡飞狗跳、一地鸡毛，部分也源于这些王妃文化程度不高，遇到问题，更倾向于任性地硬刚，而不是理性解决。
除了容貌出众，伊莉莎白公主还动静皆宜，会弹钢琴，而且热爱运动，滑雪、网球、风帆、潜水等体育活动也难不倒她，她还有两位弟弟一位妹妹，家族成员关系亲密。
It is said that the family has a family style, and the styles of the royal family members who come out of different royal families are also very different.
不管怎样，不作、不折腾想必是王室家业兴旺发达的不二法宝吧。
