Belgian Brabant Coburg Expression Gaze Gotha Highness Innocence Innocent Lace Leopold Saxe Plaintive
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, we see a young and innocent Crown Prince Leopold of Belgium, later known as King Leopold III (1901-1983), as a boy around the age of ten. The image captures him in a contemplative moment, gazing off into the distance with a plaintive expression. The future monarch is dressed in the formal attire of the day, including a lace collar and a royal sash bearing the insignia of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. As Duke of Brabant and Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Leopold was a member of the Belgian royal family and the heir to the throne. The photograph, taken circa 1911, offers a glimpse into the early life of a future king. The image conveys a sense of innocence and purity, a reminder of the young prince's unburdened past before he assumed the responsibilities of monarchy. The photograph also highlights the rich history and tradition of the Belgian monarchy, with Leopold's regal attire and noble bearing. Leopold's reign as King of the Belgians, from 1934 to 1951, was marked by significant events, including the country's neutrality during World War II and the aftermath of the war. This photograph, however, offers a rare and poignant reminder of the young prince's earlier years, before the weight of the crown and the burdens of statehood. The image is a testament to the complex and multifaceted history of the Belgian monarchy and the human story behind the title of Crown Prince.
