Princess Elisabeth has completed first year of master’s degree but Trump administration’s crackdown may jeopardise studies
Princess Elisabeth, the 23-year-old future queen of Belgium, has just completed her first year at Harvard University but the ban imposed by Donald Trump’s administration on foreign students studying there could jeopardise her continued attendance.
The US president’s administration revoked Harvard’s ability to enrol international students on Thursday, and is forcing current foreign students to transfer to other schools or lose their legal status in the US, while also threatening to expand the crackdown to other colleges.
“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,” said a spokesperson for the Belgian royal palace, Lore Vandoorne.
And rightly and deservedly so…

Yeah, we hate us too, friend
I personally know two people who’ve cancelled US trips, one of which is because she’s gay.
Really wondering when they’ll realise just how fucked they are.
When you say they, do you mean Americans paying attention, Trump voters and supporters, or the assholes making these decisions?
The first group are painfully aware of how fucked we are, the second MIGHT when they lose their home/job or have a loved one hauled away to a concentration camp but even then they might never because pro American propaganda has burrowed itself so deeply into their minds they truly believe the exceptionalism horseshit, the third either knows and is fine with it because they are just trying to consolidate power or is one of the ignorant true believers like the second group.
I fucking hate my country
Mostly the people making the decisions, but don’t feel too bad, the EU is rapidly shifting to the right as well. The main positive takeaway is I’ve never seen the EU this unified.
Really hope y’all are able to right that specific ship, we’re gonna need help but I also just wouldn’t wish this on anyone
