EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a tender moment between Queen Astrid of Belgium and her three young children: Prince Baudouin, Princess Josephine-Charlotte, and Prince Leopold. Taken in 1935, the image offers a glimpse into the private life of the beloved monarch, who reigned from 1934 until her tragic death in 1935. Born in 1905 in Darmstadt, Germany, Astrid was the first Belgian queen to be born abroad and the first to be a mother during her reign. Her marriage to King Leopold III in 1926 was a source of great joy and hope for the Belgian people, who had been reeling from the aftermath of World War I. In this photograph, Astrid is seen cradling her youngest child, Leopold, while her eldest, Baudouin, stands beside her, his hand resting on his mother's shoulder. Princess Josephine-Charlotte, the middle child, gazes intently at the camera. The family's relaxed and joyful demeanor belies the political turmoil that would soon engulf Belgium and ultimately lead to Astrid's untimely demise. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of royalty, showcasing Astrid as a devoted mother and loving wife. It also serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the monarchy held a powerful symbolic role in the lives of ordinary people. This historical photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of Belgian history or royalty, offering a unique insight into the personal life of a beloved queen and mother. The image has been sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online and is available for rights-managed use.
