US President Trump has set his sights on the renowned Harvard University: he is blocking the enrolment of international students at the famous university. Does this mean Belgian Crown Princess Elisabeth also has to leave Harvard?

President Trump revoked Harvard University's permission to allow international students to attend classes. The US Department of Homeland Security is conducting an investigation into the prestigious institution. Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, is holding the university responsible for "encouraging violence, antisemitism, and cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus."

If international students wish to remain in the US, they will have to transfer to a different university. Belgian Crown Princess Elisabeth has already completed her first academic year and exams. A spokesperson for the Belgian royal palace stated that they are monitoring the situation and will wait to see whether Princess Elisabeth can continue to study at Harvard.
