Even now, royals don’t just exist in Disney cartoons. There are still more than 20 royal families in the world nowadays, and we can only wonder what their life is like.

Here at Bright Side we became curious about who the kids are that are going to be kings and queens one day. Today, we want to tell you about some of them.

4. Princess Elisabeth, Belgium

Belgium’s princess Elisabeth was born on October 25, 2001 and is now 18 years old. She’s the King’s oldest child, and although she has brothers, she’s the first in line and is the heir apparent to the Belgian throne, since the rules changed 10 years before her birth. If she ascends the throne, she’ll be Belgium’s first queen regnant.

Elisabeth skis, plays tennis, practices scuba diving, and likes trekking. She also likes music, cooking, reading, and spending time with her friends.

The princess speaks Dutch, French, German, and English. She completed her studies at UWC Atlantic College in Wales in May 2020 and is enrolling in the Belgian Military Academy in Brussels in the fall of 2020. She does a lot of volunteer work, helping children with learning difficulties, the elderly, the homeless, and people with a handicap.

She was attending an ordinary elementary school, but later was transferred to a private English-language school to become fluent in English. The princess is interested in environmental protection, likes skiing, kickboxing, and surfing. In 2016, a sculpture park was opened in her name.
