Yesterday US President Donald Trump revoked Harvard's permission to allow international students to attend classes at the university. Harvard refused to provide full information about the possible involvement of their students in protests against the war in Gaza. As a result, foreign students are temporarily not allowed to enroll and 6,800 students are at risk of losing their residence in the US.
Crown Princess Elisabeth (23) has just completed her first-year exams at the prestigious university. Since last September, she has been following a 2-year Master in Public Policy at the Kennedy School campus, which is intended to "improve government policy and leadership so that people can live in safer, freer, more just and more prosperous societies," as the School's website states.
The royal family is analyzing Trump's decision, according to spokesperson Lore Vandoorn.
Elisabeth will return to Belgium this summer, the palace announced. As expected, she will attend the 21 July celebrations.
