EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, King Albert I of Belgium and his consort, Queen Elisabeth, are seen strolling along the sandy shores of La Panne, the only part of their country that remained unoccupied by the Germans during World War II. The image, captured between the years 1875 and 1934, portrays the royal couple in a moment of tranquility and defiance against the looming threat of invasion. Albert I, dressed in a smart suit and hat, walks alongside his wife, Queen Elisabeth, who is elegantly attired in a long, flowing dress and a sun hat. The couple's relaxed demeanor and their focus on each other and the beautiful scenery around them contrast starkly with the ominous backdrop of war. Despite the growing danger, the royal family chose to remain in Belgium rather than flee to safety in another country. Their unwavering commitment to their people and their homeland became a symbol of resilience and courage during these trying times. La Panne, located on the Belgian coast, was a popular destination for the Belgian royal family, who often sought refuge there to escape the hustle and bustle of Brussels. The pristine beaches and serene surroundings provided a welcome respite from the political turmoil that was engulfing their nation. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, as the king and queen of Belgium walk hand in hand along the sands of La Panne, a testament to their unwavering loyalty and determination to stand by their people in the face of adversity.
