King Filip and Queen Mathilde’s oldest son Prince Gabriël is 21 today. To mark the occasion the Royal Palace has released two new official photographs of the man who is second in line to the Belgian throne. One of the photographs shows Prince Gabriël at work at the Royal Military School where he has been a student since 2022. At the start of the new academic year, he will leave for France where he will study at the Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan Military Academy in Guer as an Erasmus exchange student.
Prince Gabriël will spend 5 months in France. He will study geopolitics at The Saint-Cry Coëtquidan Military Accademy in Guer, at town in Brittany. There he will be taught in English.
This won’t be an issue for the prince as he has already been taught through the medium of English when he spent a year as a student at the National Mathematics & Science College in the English city of Coventry. Prince Gabriël is fluent in Dutch, Franch and English.
