Elisabeth volunteers to help children with learning difficulties, the elderly, the homeless and disabled people.

Ten years prior to Elisabeth's birth, a new 1991 amendment of the succession line was implemented which introduced absolute primogeniture, defining her as the first in the line of succession since she is the eldest child. On 21 July 2013, once Elisabeth's father had sworn the oath of office as King (her grandfather having abdicated shortly before), she became heir apparent to the throne, receiving the title of Duchess of Brabant.[http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/cgi/api2.pl?lg=fr&pd=2001-10-17&numac=2001021517 Text in French] of the 1991 amendment: « Le titre de Duc de Brabant ou de Duchesse de Brabant sera toujours porté, à l'avenir, par le Prince ou la Princesse, fils aîné ou fille aînée du Roi, et, à défaut, par le Prince ou la Princesse, fils aîné ou fille aînée du fils aîné ou de la fille aînée du Roi. » Should she ascend as expected, Elisabeth shall become Belgium's first female monarch.{{cite web|url=https://www.monarchie.be/en/for-children/the-king-the-queen-and-their-family |website=Monarchie.be |publisher=The Belgian Monarchy |title=The King, the Queen and their Family |access-date=12 June 2018 |quote=In the past, only boys could become Kings.

Princess Elisabeth, who is the eldest of four children of King Philippe, is therefore the heiress of the Belgian monarchy. When she succeeds her father King Philippe, Princess Elisabeth will be the first woman to become Head of State in Belgium.}}
