Belgian Crown Princess Elisabeth is graduating from the Lincoln College in Oxford.

On July 23, she attends the University of Oxford graduation ceremony at the Sheldonian Theater in Oxford, accompanied by King Philippe, Queen Mathilde, Prince Emmanuel and Princess Eléonore.

She is really remarkable when it comes to intellectual achievements. The graduation ceremony will be in July 23, after that she will go on to Harvard, all such prestigious universities. I hope I am right in the opinion that both Oxford and Harvard are not the kind of universities where rich kids can go without having the intellect to attend. You really have to be very good to attend those universities. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I first thought it was a mistake in confusing June with July...

Harvard reserves a portion of its classes for children or grandchildren or close family members of alumni, VIPs (including heads of state), mega-donors, rich and famous people or even people who work at the College (like faculty or someone who works in the Dean's office).  The entrance requirements are different compared to the unknowns.  I myself knew several VIP offspring when I was there in the early '10s.  I remember wondering how one got in until I was told about their lineage.

Once you are accepted, Harvard will do everything in its power to make sure you graduate, because when a VIP fails out, it makes the College look bad (and threatens alumni dollars).

Harvard is not alone in this.  All of the ivy league universities (and I suspect all US colleges and universities) engage in VIP selection to some degree depending on what the university hopes to gain by their admission (like more alumni dollars or fame by association).  The best example is in NCAA Division I football, where some schools will overlook glaring academic deficiencies to gain a player who can help them win a championship.

I work at Oxford University and saw lots of graduates and families about today - didn't occur to me that the Belgians were amongst them! Congratulations to Elisabeth

You can see that Elisabeth got a IIi class degree - well done to her. It's a very solid degree indeed - and what you need for postgraduate studies. Classifications are First, Upper second IIi, Lower second IIii and Third. Some universities also have a Pass degree.

Princess Elisabeth attends noble wedding for the first time without parents
The news has been under the radar for a while, but at the end of July (the 27th to be precise) Princess Elisabeth was a solo guest at a noble wedding for the very first time:the wedding of Archduke Pál of Habsburg-Lorraine to Antonia Lütz
https://www.garderoberoya...ar-een-adellijk-huwelijk/

She opted for a green satin midi  dress from the French brand Maje

The clutch is also by Fabienne Delvigne, and was originally made for Queen Mathilde

the gold earrings are by Delphine Nardin, and were for many years one of the most worn earrings of Queen Mathilde

Wow, I think this is her all-time best look. And she carries herself so well. Mathilde and Philippe must be so proud of her.

She looks absolutely lovely. And a 2.1 is a good degree! Well done.
