Back to School for Belgium’s Little Royals

Summer was over on Wednesday for Belgium’s youngest royals. The three eldest children of Crown Prince Philippe and Princess Mathilde returned to school at the St. John Bergman College in Brussels.

Princess Elisabeth, 8, Prince Gabriel, 7, and Prince Emmanuel, 5, held their parents ‘ hands as Philippe and Mathilde escorted them to their first day of classes.

It is nearly a tradition for the Belgian media to photograph and film the royal children going to school each September, as if to see just how much the kids have grown.

Next year, Princess Eleonore, will join her older siblings at St. John Bergman College. She’ll be three years old then.

To think only two years ago, the older royal children were gushing over Eleonore when she was born!

After dropping off their brood, Philippe and Mathilde went back doing royal duties. For example, Mathilde attended a school for children suffering from cerebral motor infirmity in Etterbeek.
