Amidst the public limelight and the roar of snooker balls colliding, lies the private world of Alex Higgins. This December 1975 image captures a rare moment of respite, as the legendary snooker player gazes at Queen Victoria in a lithograph, perhaps finding solace in the tranquility of history. In contrast, the private lives of monarchs like Elizabeth and Essex, as depicted in this 1939 lithograph, were shrouded in mystery and intrigue. The late Queen of the Belgians, too, had a public persona, but her private life remained a deeply personal affair. As we delve into the lives of these historical figures, we are reminded that behind every public persona lies a complex and multifaceted individual. Alex Higgins, the snooker maestro, is no exception. His private moments, like this one, offer a glimpse into the man beyond the game.
