Taking to Instagram account on Friday, the royal family shared the breathtaking photograph of the Crown Princess of Belgium, along with a touching birthday note.
In a shared portrait, the Duchess of Brabant served looks in a royal-blue gown, her soft curls cascading over one shoulder.
The palace penned the birthday note, “Today is Princess Elisabeth's birthday! She is blowing out 24 candles: hip hip…”
Following the release of her birthday portrait, royal fans shared messages of love and celebration in the comments.

Princess Elisabeth is the eldest child of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde and she is to become the country's first queen regnant.
