Princess Elisabeth of Belgium exuded effortless glamour as she returned to the hospital she opened when she was just nine years old.

The heir to the Belgian throne, 22, donned a pea green single-breasted suit jacket and trousers as she visited the Princess Elisabeth Children’s Hospital, which is the paediatric wing of the University Hospital of Ghent.

The young royal wore a sheer grey turtleneck underneath and accessorised her outfit with some chunky gold earrings.

Tying her look together, Elisabeth – who is currently a student at Oxford University – wore her long brown hair down and was seen wearing some shimmering silver eyeshadow. 

The royal kept her makeup mostly minimal – opting for a bronzed complexion and nude glossy lip.

Elisabeth received a warm welcome from staff at the hospital and was handed several bunches of flowers.

The royal displayed her natural way with children as she was taken on a tour around the hospital, which specialises in treating children with chronic diseases.

The future Queen happily took part in some arts and crafts with young patients and chatted to staff and volunteers during the visit.

The Princess inaugurated the hospital in September 2011 when she was just nine years old. 

It’s shaping up to be a busy week for the royal, who is on her Christmas university break. 

Last night, the young royal joined her siblings and parents for a Christmas Reception at the Royal Palace in Brussels. 

Born on October 25, 2001, Princess Elisabeth is the eldest of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium’s four children.

When her father became King in 2013, Elisabeth became the heir to the throne and Duchess of Brabant. Due to changes in primogeniture in 1991, she will one day become the first Queen of the nation.

Like a number of other European royals, including Princess Leonor of Spain and Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, Elisabeth attended Atlantic College in Wales before moving on to Oxford. 

Nicknamed ‘Hippie Hogwarts’, the school curriculum has included unusual activities such as Tai Chi and Tibetan literature. It has a remarkable cliff-top location in a 12th-century castle in the Vale of Glamorgan. 

Elisabeth enrolled on a £67,000, two-year course to study for her International Baccalaureate diploma at the school, which she has now completed. 

The Princess also went to the Yale Young Global Scholars Program at Yale University.

She then completed a one-year course in social and military sciences at the Royal Military Academy which is said to teach in-depth about the four components of Belgian defence: Army, Air Force, Navy and Medical.

In October 2021, the Princess began studying History and Politics at Lincoln College, Oxford. Here, she rows for Lincoln College Boat Club under the name ‘Elisabeth de Saxe-Coburg’. 

According to Belgian newspaper Le Soir, the princess completed a written entrance exam in history ‘anonymously’ so that her social status would not affect her marks.

Elisabeth is believed to have chosen the course herself, in agreement with her parents, and reportedly consulted with graduates from various universities and made her decision based on what would be most useful to her in her role as queen later in life.

The high-achieving Princess, who is fluent in Dutch, French, German and English, recently completed two years at the Royal Military Academy’s annual three-week summer camps and other practical and theoretical military classes.
