They’re destined for the throne even though some of them are too young to realise it – these dashing princes and darling princesses are already making their mark, so who are they?

Whether it is the pampered lifestyle, noble status or enviable affluence, our fascination with royalty is as old as civilisation itself. Even though they do not wield as much power now as they did way back when, Europe’s monarchies are particularly captivating; and are still active with the curiousness around their lives as present as ever.

So, who are the future kings and queens of Europe? Let’s take a look.

Princess Elisabeth, Belgium, 19 years old

After her grandfather (King Albert II) abdicated the throne, Elisabeth’s father became Belgium’s king, making her heiress apparent, or next in line to the Belgian throne. Already an active royal, Princess Elisabeth has several institutions named after her, including the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica Research Station and the University Hospital Ghent, Princess Elisabeth Children’s Hospital.

Prince Christian, Denmark, 15 years old

As the oldest son of Crown Prince Frederik, Christian is second in line to be head monarch of the Kingdom of Denmark, which includes Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. At his birth, major celebrations took place, including a 21-gun salute and the lighting of bonfires all over Denmark.
