Princess Elisabeth faces uncertainty over completing her master's degree due to President Trump's ban on international students.
The 23-year-old future queen is standing in solidarity with fellow students affected by the visa restrictions, according to royal journalist Wim Dehandschutter.
The Trump administration's May policy blocked international students from attending Harvard classes on visas, though the university's lawsuit has temporarily halted the ban.
A federal judge in Boston will decide on 21 July whether to continue the Trump administration's policy, creating uncertainty for Elisabeth and other international students.
