Princess Elisabeth Set to Resume Harvard Studies After Court Halts U.S. Ban

A federal injunction has kept visas valid, allowing the Belgian heir apparent to rejoin her public policy program this fall.

Overview

  • Belgian Royal Palace spokesman Xavier Baert said conditions are in place for Princess Elisabeth to return to Harvard this semester.
  • A U.S. judge blocked President Donald Trump’s proclamation seeking to bar foreign nationals from entering to study at Harvard, restoring visa renewals.
  • The administration has appealed the ruling, but the injunction remains in effect with the new school year slated to start on September 2.
  • Elisabeth, 23, is entering the second year of a two-year master’s in public policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
  • Harvard reported nearly 6,800 international students last year—about 27% of enrollment—highlighting the broader impact of the proposed ban.
