Belgian Princess To Continue Harvard Studies After Ban
Princess Elisabeth, who is going to be the queen of Belgium, can keep going to Harvard.
The U.S. government, under Donald Trump, tried to stop foreign students from coming to study.
This made the Belgian Royal Palace worry about the princess.
A judge said the ban couldn't happen, so she can continue her studies.
She's studying for a master's degree in Public Policy, which helps students learn to work in government.
The government is still trying to fight the judge's decision, but for now, the ban is off.
Harvard has many international students, about 27% of all students.
Princess Elisabeth of Belgium can continue her studies at Harvard.
The U.S. government initially moved to bar foreign students, including Princess Elisabeth.
A federal judge blocked the ban, allowing international students to attend.
The Trump administration has appealed the judge's ruling, but the injunction remains.
Princess Elisabeth is in a two-year master’s program in Public Policy at Harvard.
