In February 1945, Princess Elizabeth joined the Women’s Auxiliary Territory Service, registered as inductee No. 230873, under the name Elizabeth Windsor. Elizabeth took her ATS duties seriously. Her enlistment made headlines around the world, with newspapers applauding the young princess’ commitment to the war effort and calling her "Princess Auto Mechanic."
She underwent a six-week auto mechanic training course at Aldershot in Surrey, and by July had risen from the rank of Second Subaltern to Junior Commander. She learned how to deconstruct, repair and rebuild engines and change tires, and learned how to drive every type of machine she worked on, including jeeps, trucks and ambulances.

Belgium's heir to the throne Princess Elisabeth is facing a change to her pampered lifestyle when she joins the country's Royal Military Academy next year, according to fellow students.
The young royal, who was previously studying at UWC Atlantic College in Wales, is set to join the army in a move which has hit the headlines in her homeland.
The news comes after the Belgian royal family released new photos of the princess in training, jogging in the countryside amid lockdown.
One of the training school's current students has offered insight into the course and some sage words of advice ahead of Elisabeth's enrollment.
Elisabeth, Princess of Belgium, Duchess of Brabant, was born in Anderlecht on 25 October 2001, the first child of Their Majesties the King and Queen. As the first-born child, Princess Elisabeth is first in line of succession to the throne.

Mathilde is two years younger than my youngest! sigh.
I remember when her father in law and his wife were always in the news they were different and more out going than his older brother King Baudouin.

Baudouin reigned as King of the Belgians, following his father's abdication, from 1951 until his death in 1993. He was the last Belgian king to be sovereign of the Congo.
He was the elder son of King Leopold III and his first wife, Princess Astrid of Sweden.
