EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Belgian history: the coronation of Queen Astrid and King Leopold III on February 11, 1935. The image shows the young and radiant Queen Astrid, dressed in the traditional white ermine-trimmed robe and wearing the crown of the Belgian monarchy, seated next to her husband, King Leopold III, who had ascended to the throne just a year earlier following the abdication of his father, King Albert I. The coronation ceremony, held in Brussels' Cathedral of Saints Michael and Gudula, marked the official beginning of Astrid's reign as Queen consort. Born on December 31, 1905, Astrid was the first Belgian queen to be born in the country, and her election was a source of great pride for the Belgian people. The election of Astrid as queen was a significant departure from the traditional line of Belgian monarchs, who had all been German-born. Her election was seen as a symbol of Belgian national identity and unity, and her popularity was a welcome distraction from the political turmoil that had engulfed the country in the aftermath of World War I. Despite her early death in 1935, just a few months after the coronation, Queen Astrid remains a beloved figure in Belgian history. Her image continues to inspire and captivate, serving as a reminder of a time when the Belgian monarchy was a unifying force in a fractured nation. This photograph, with its striking composition and historical significance, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring legacy of a remarkable queen.
