Royal-Royal Marriages Today

If Infanta Sofía married a foreign prince, she would not receive a ducal title. In Spain a royal title such as Infanta outranks any title of mere nobility, so the Infantas have never used their ducal titles and were only created Duchesses to allow their husbands to use the title of Duke as...

On the occasion of her 24th birthday, a new portrait of the Princess has been released by the Royal Palace.

The new photo was taken by photographer Bas Bogaerts, who has worked with the royal family several times and is known as their in-house photographer. The image depicts a somewhat mysterious princess: her gaze is cast downward, while light and shadow are subtly played with. She's wearing a cobalt blue dress by Belgian-American designer Diane von Fürstenberg, a piece she's worn before for official occasions.

Can't wait to see Elisabeth in a formal portrait wearing a tiara. Perhaps for her 25th birthday next year?

Princess Astrid is no longer in charge of the economic missions due to health reasons. Pending the assumption of this responsibility by Crown Princess Elisabeth, Queen Mathilde will lead the Belgian economic missions.

So I'd guess Elisabeth will the hit the ground running after completing her master's degree next year.

I wondered why Princess Astrid was being abruptly retired (the fact that Queen Mathilde will fill in during the interim indicates it is not merely about Crown Princess Elisabeth taking over the role), but @iceflower answered that in this thread, for anyone else who is interested:

Princess Astrid on Economic Missions: 2013 - 2025

She is back with 39 contracts. grate Work Princess Astrid.

Princess Astrid led 24 economic missions in 12 years, so that would be 2 a year on average. Given that this includes the Covid years, it will be more likely 3 a year.

It's a great way for Princess Elisabeth to get international experience (just like Guillaume did until very recently as heir to his father - and now continuing in that role as the new GD).

I read that poor Astrid suffers from debilitating insomnia. She has suffered for years and it affected her ability to focus during the day.
It is on the advice of her doctors that she is finally stepping down.
