40 years ago , Prince Philippe 19 years took his oath as officer nefore King Baudouin, the only King of the Belgians who never received a military education because of the War.
 
Congratulations, Princess Elisabeth...or should I say: Officer Van België!!! ?

Taking the oath in all 3 languages, the other students take the oath in one language (their mother tongue).

I still don't understand how Princess Elisabeth can be commissioned when she still has one year (?) left before earning her bachelor's degree at Oxford.

I am not sure how it works either but it seems they just count the number of years/credits. She did one year at the military academy and now completed two years at Oxford. The initial military program is three years, so she most likely earned sufficient credits and did the obligatory military camps?!
 
Elisabeth has done a full year and three summer camps, thus fullfiling the requirements needed for her to become an officer.
Prince Gabriël will become an officer after completing his third year.
 
Congratulations to the Duchess of Brabant and Prince Gabriël!

I don't know how it works exactly, but also her cousin, Prince Amedeo, took his oath as an officer in 2007, one year before earning his bachelor's degree at the London School of Economics.
 
Princess Elisabeth wears 2 stars on her uniform (near her neck) and Prince Gabriel 1 star.
 
For the first time in our history , Princess Elisabeth swore in our 3 languages.

On 17 February it will be 90 years since King Albert I's tragic death in Marche-les-Dames. His grandson, the future King Albert II, who was of course named after him, was born just a few months later (6 June 1934).

The King Philippe receives former US President Barack Obama at the Castle of Laeken, together with Princess Elisabeth.
 
Wow! What a beautiful Princess!
 
If we wanted to listen to the ex President Obama in Belgium , we had to pay 600 euros.
 
Prince Amedeo and his family were in Belgium to celebrate Easter. His wife, Lili, and eldest daughter Anna Astrid (who will turn 8 next month) were spotted attending a mass on Easter Sunday with King Albert and Queen Paola, in the Brussels Cathedral:

Some very nice pictures of the three of them. I always like seeing Claire with her parents-in-law.
Hopefully, the Royal Palace will also share pictures from this event on social media!
 
Really nice to see Princess Claire at the Awards with her parent in laws!
 
Nice to see the Princess with her parents-in-law. They must bless the day that Laurent met her. Laeken is such a beautiful palace btw.
