Throughout the month of July, Elisabeth is in camp at Bourg-Léopold. The princess enjoyed her one-year training at the Royal Military School 3 years ago so much that she renews the experience every summer, it allows her to continue to train and find her comrades.
“Three years ago, she spent a full year at the Royal Military Academy before leaving for England. She has kept very good memories and friendships. She had asked to be able to participate in the military camp with her classmates who follow the normal route. Each summer camp period, we have the pleasure of finding the princess among us“, explains Colonel Thierry Pirenne, instructor of Princess Elisabeth.
This year, his brother Gabriel is also in camp at Bourg-Léopold, but they don’t have much opportunity to meet, because the latter is in first year, and the programs are different.
Elisabeth is a student at Oxford. She makes upgrades regularly at her request. To prepare for this summer camp, she took training in the handling of new weapons last February. This has almost become a passion for the one who will one day be Chief of the Armed Forces, and she is the pride of Defense.
“We can consider her as an example, because she really blends in with her promotion. We too, as managers, make no distinction between her and her classmates”, specifies the director of basic officer training. . “It’s a real pleasure to see that she fits in so well and that she really finds this desire to get started.”
The princess follows the progression of her formation and begins the platoon phase. She is led to command 30 to 40 people divided into different sections. It’s another style of command that’s a bit more complex than previous episodes. They are taught the tactical aspects, but also and above all, the leadership aspects”, explains Colonel Thierry Pirenne.
On July 21, the princess will parade in front of her parents.
