A princess has arrived in the city ready to start her studies at Oxford University.
Princess Elisabeth of Belgium will be studying at Lincoln College this month.
To celebrate her first day at university, the Belgian Royal Palace shared on Instagram several photos of the future Queen's first visit to the city and university last week.
She is heir to Belgium's throne after her grandfather abdicated in 2013.
The 19-year-old royal was pictured enjoying a happy sunny day punting with friends, walking by the Bodleian Library and strolling down the Front Quad at Lincoln College.
She also visited Lincoln College’s university library and a coffee shop at the city centre.
The Belgian Royal Palace Instagram announced in August the arrival of the Princess to Oxford, where she will study a three-year course in History and Politics.
In the same post it was mentioned that the Princess will return to Belgium regularly and remain involved in the Belgian public life.
It is not the first experience abroad for King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium's daughter, she obtained her International Baccalaureate last year after attending the UWC Atlantic College in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, a popular school of choice for other royals.
Princess Elisabeth is not the only member of the Belgian royal family to study in the UK, her younger brother, Prince Gabriel, also move to England to undergo preparatory training in Warwickshire.
