3. Princess Amalia of the Netherlands

Over in the Netherlands, Crown Princess Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria—or just Princess Amalia if you’re on a first-name basis—is gearing up to follow in her father’s footsteps. King Willem-Alexander took the throne in 2013 after his mother, Queen Beatrix, abdicated.

But Amalia isn’t in a rush to rule. She even turned down a $1.8 million annual allowance on her 18th birthday. “I find it uncomfortable as long as I can offer little in return and other students have it so much more difficult,” she wrote to the Dutch Prime Minister. Humble and relatable? Check.

Amalia is currently studying politics, psychology, law, and economics (PPLE) at the University of Amsterdam, showing her keen interest in governance and society. She’s a talented equestrian and loves singing; she even performed in a choir that toured internationally. Amalia’s down-to-earth nature and sense of responsibility have already made her a beloved figure in the Netherlands.

4. Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant

Let’s not forget Belgium’s very own Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant. When her grandfather abdicated in 2013, Elisabeth became the heir apparent. Now Elisabeth is blazing a trail for future queens. Born 10 years after Belgium allowed the eldest daughter to ascend to the throne, Elisabeth is proving that she’s more than ready for the responsibility.

Elisabeth studied at UWC Atlantic College in Wales and is now pursuing a degree in history and politics at Oxford University. She also attended the Yale Young Global Scholars Program at Yale University. She’s an avid sportswoman, excelling in skiing, tennis, and sailing; she’s also a talented pianist. Elisabeth has been involved in numerous charitable activities, particularly those focused on children and education. Her compassionate nature and dedication to service are setting her up to be a queen who truly cares for her people.
