Elisabeth of Belgium and Leonor of Spain are two crown princesses who have fully embraced their destiny as future queens. They are the leaders of the new generation. In the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway,… the future of monarchies looks resolutely feminine.
In Cairo, Egypt, the entire Belgian press came for Princess Elisabeth’s first official trip. “Princess Elisabeth in Egypt showed quite astonishing confidence for a young girl of her age, believes Sophie Lagesse, specialist in monarchies for Le Soir Mag. She was in place, she knew how to place herself in front of the cameras, so we see that she had prepared in advance and that she seemed almost more at ease than her mother.” “Mathilde, who was a bit like the mistress of internship, was more stressed than the intern Elisabeth since it is an important moment for Mathilde as a mother”adds Wim Dehandschutter, royalty expert for DPG Média.
The Crown Princess also made an impression when she gave her first real interview and responded to dozens of journalists. “She looks her interlocutor in the eyes, and she has very easy contact”, underlines Emmanuelle Jowa, specialist in monarchies for Paris Match. “At that time, very stressful, she is already very professional”, consider Wim Dehandschutter.
Elisabeth of Belgium is far from being the only heiress to take up more and more space. A whole generation of future queens is gaining power in Europe. Léonor from Spain, Ingrid Alexandra from Norway, Estelle from Sweden, and even Amalia from the Netherlands.
As 2024 approaches, these young women have enormous pressure on their shoulders. Even more expected at the turns than their fathers or grandfathers.
“Before, things were taken for granted: we sat on the throne, we reigned and that’s it, recalls Thomas Debergeyck, journalist RTLINFO. Today, it’s not the same thing at all.” “I wouldn’t say that the monarchies are in the hot seat, but all the same, we don’t know how much longer it will last.” believes Emmanuelle Jowa. “These young girls will have to prove everything: justify that they are there for the right reasons and not just because they were born,” explain Thomas De Bergeyck.
These future queens can count on a very advanced academic background. And it is on social networks that they support each other. “They created a Whatsapp group between crown princesses”reveals Wim Dehandschutter.
In this elite of future rulers, Elisabeth already stands out. A perfectionist and with a track record so far flawless. “Logically, the king should start entrusting him with missions”estimates Christophe Giltay, senior RTLINFO reporter.
