Doesn’t it bother anybody in Belgium that the future queen of Belgium doesn’t study in Belgium? There are great universities in Belgium, on both sides of the language border.
To be clear, I’m Belgian and in favour of abolishing monarchy. But as the news about her is unavoidable: she did study at the royal military academy as all in line for the throne have too. Then she went to Oxford for her Bachelor degree. Plan was to get the master at Harvard.
The justification is partly elitism for those schools, partly getting exposed to other environments, and partly getting too avoid being to isolated in Belgian schools where the attention would be inevitable and security too hard.

Can be good experience to move away from home for a bit…
Seems like a weird nativist thing to get worked up about.
probably good for your leaders to have some sense of the greater world. i mean, look at America
Europoean aristocrats haven’t been actual political leaders for a long time. They’re basically just decoration.

Yes, but you don’t get a sense for the world in the US, even as a foreigner.

US AND UK probably has the best schools, thats why even dictators go to school in the west.
You probably haven’t been more than 50miles from your hometown for any length of time, have you?
