Crown Princess Elisabeth of Belgium has officially started her studies at Harvard University, raising questions about how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might feel about this. After all, how significant can one's royal status be when a future queen is earning a master's degree in public policy on American soil?
Elisabeth has traded the comforts of a palace for the hallowed halls of Harvard, embracing her new life in a style reminiscent of a typical college student, complete with baggy jeans and a brown tank top. She embodies a sense of normalcy that seems utterly foreign to her American counterparts. The reactions on social media were palpable when photos of her at Harvard hit the internet; “A princess at Harvard!” they exclaimed.
While Meghan was busy promoting her Netflix specials and discussing the challenges of royal life, Elisabeth was preparing for a serious education. The contrast between the two is striking: the Belgian royal appears well-supported by a staff treated with respect and dignity, whereas Harry and Meghan's approach often raises eyebrows.
One might even argue that Elisabeth, as the heir to the Belgian throne, probably requires more protection than Harry ever will. Yet, she doesn’t seem to need the constant victim narrative that Meghan seems to thrive on. Best of luck to Crown Princess Elisabeth as she navigates the complexities of higher education; she’s taking a leap that many young royals have attempted, demonstrating that one can balance royal duties with serious academic pursuits.
Meanwhile, Meghan may find herself struggling for relevance against this new generation of young royals. Let’s not forget other rising royals, such as Princess Charlotte, who is destined to be a media darling, potentially overshadowing anything Meghan attempts. The Welles children will also dominate headlines, driving Meghan to the sidelines.
It doesn’t matter who becomes a parent first—George, Charlotte, or Louis—each new royal baby will push Harry further down the line of succession. The media will feast on the Welles kids, making Harry’s family efforts seem like a distant memory, while Meghan drags Archie and Lilibet into the spotlight, only to find they can’t compete with the growing popularity of their royal cousins.
People say that everyone salutes the rising sun, but nobody pays attention to the one that’s sinking. William and Catherine have three rising stars, while Meghan foolishly thinks she’s starting anew. Crown Princess Elisabeth is a scholar, unlike Meghan, who often appears more focused on past Hollywood escapades.
It’s almost comical that Meghan considers herself impressive within royal circles, while Elisabeth speaks multiple languages and embraces her responsibilities. Meanwhile, Meghan struggles to present the truth, highlighting her ongoing inadequacies in a world filled with future queens, each more accomplished and graceful than the last.
From Princess Victoria of Sweden to Princess Leonor of Spain, Europe is brimming with young royals who are well-educated and dedicated to serving their countries. As the contrast between royalty and celebrity becomes more pronounced, we see a clear divide: serious academia versus superficial Hollywood antics.
Crown Princess Elisabeth isn’t out there broadcasting her exploits or painting targets on herself like a certain duchess we all know. Instead, she’s concentrating on her education and future role as a leader. In contrast, Meghan Markle continues to flounder in her quest for relevance.
Crown Princess Elisabeth steps into her future with grace and ambition. It’s clear that the young royals are forging their own paths, leaving Meghan to ponder just how irrelevant she has truly become.
