The future Queen of Belgium has arrived at the Olympics after graduating from the University of Oxford.
Crown Princess Elisabeth recently finished her History and Politics course at Lincoln College which she began in 2021.
Late last month she returned to the City of Dreaming Spires for her graduation in the city centre which was attended by various members of the Belgian royal family.
The 22-year-old is the eldest of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium’s four children and is next in line to the throne.

She has enjoyed her time in Oxford having spent three years living and studying in the city.
The Belgian Royal Palace has previously released a statement directly to the Oxford Mail on Princess Elisabeth's time in Oxford.
