EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant and regal presence of Queen Astrid of Belgium, nee Astrid Sofia Lovisa Thyra of Sweden, as she departs from Genoa, Italy, en route to Indo-China via the Suez Canal on January 11, 1932. Queen Astrid, the consort of Leopold III, is seen donning a stylish jacket and a chic hat, embodying the grace and sophistication of the 1930s. Born on November 17, 1905, in Stockholm, Sweden, Astrid was the eldest daughter of Swedish King Gustaf V and Queen Victoria of Baden. Her marriage to Leopold III of Belgium took place on October 27, 1926, in Brussels, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life. The photograph was taken during a significant moment in the young queen's life as she embarked on a journey to Indo-China, accompanied by her husband, Leopold III. The couple's visit to the French colony aimed to strengthen diplomatic relations between Belgium and France, as well as to promote Belgian interests in the region. The image exudes an air of refinement and poise, reflecting the historical significance of the moment and the elegance of the era. Queen Astrid's timeless beauty and regal demeanor continue to captivate audiences, making this photograph a valuable addition to any collection of royal history and 1930s fashion.
