Taking the oath in all 3 languages, the other students take the oath in one language (their mother tongue).

I still don't understand how Princess Elisabeth can be commissioned when she still has one year (?) left before earning her bachelor's degree at Oxford.

I am not sure how it works either but it seems they just count the number of years/credits. She did one year at the military academy and now completed two years at Oxford. The initial military program is three years, so she most likely earned sufficient credits and did the obligatory military camps?!
 
Elisabeth has done a full year and three summer camps, thus fullfiling the requirements needed for her to become an officer.
Prince Gabriël will become an officer after completing his third year.
 
Congratulations to the Duchess of Brabant and Prince Gabriël!

I don't know how it works exactly, but also her cousin, Prince Amedeo, took his oath as an officer in 2007, one year before earning his bachelor's degree at the London School of Economics.
 
Princess Elisabeth wears 2 stars on her uniform (near her neck) and Prince Gabriel 1 star.
 
For the first time in our history , Princess Elisabeth swore in our 3 languages.
 
This year, the annual Mass to commemorate the deceased members of the Royal Family will take place on 20 February.

On 17 February it will be 90 years since King Albert I's tragic death in Marche-les-Dames. His grandson, the future King Albert II, who was of course named after him, was born just a few months later (6 June 1934).
 
Some pictures from the annual Mass to commemorate the deceased members of the Royal House, on February 20:

Wow! What a beautiful Princess!
 
If we wanted to listen to the ex President Obama in Belgium , we had to pay 600 euros.
