EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Princess Marie Jose of Belgium, the eldest daughter of King Albert I, during her time as a scout at Brentwood School in England during the First World War. In 1914, following the German invasion of Belgium, the Belgian Royal Family was forced into exile, seeking refuge in England. The young princess and her brothers, including the future King Leopold III, spent the war years in England, receiving an education and living under the protective custody of the British monarchy. In this image, Princess Marie Jose is shown seated at the front of a group of scouts, dressed in a pristine white blouse and skirt, with her pole firmly planted in the ground beside her. The setting, with its open fields and clear blue sky, contrasts sharply with the turmoil and uncertainty of the war raging across Europe. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the young Belgian royals, who continued their education and upbringing amidst the chaos of war. The 1st Great War Scout Movement was an important part of the British education system during this period, with a focus on character development, leadership, and outdoor skills. The inclusion of Princess Marie Jose and her brothers in this program reflects the integration of the Belgian Royal Family into British society during their exile. This photograph, taken in 1917, is a testament to the enduring bond between the two nations and the role that education and community played in supporting the young royals during a time of great upheaval.
