EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a young and determined Prince Leopold, Duke of Brabant, during his time at Eton College in 1915. Born in 1901 as the eldest son of King Albert I of the Belgians, Leopold's life was forever changed when World War I broke out in 1914. With the Belgian royal family fleeing to the safety of neutral England, the young prince joined the esteemed ranks of Eton, one of the most prestigious schools in the country. In this image, the Duke of Brabant is seen wearing the distinctive uniform of an Etonian student, complete with a tall, peaked cap adorned with a blue and red tassel - the colors of the Belgian flag. The serious expression on his face speaks to the gravity of the times, as the young prince would have been acutely aware of the ongoing conflict that had forced his family into exile. The Duke of Brabant's time at Eton was not without notable companions. Among his contemporaries was Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, who is also believed to have attended the school during the same period. The two princes would have forged lifelong friendships amidst the hallowed halls of Eton, providing a sense of normalcy and stability amidst the chaos of war. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in Belgian history, as the young Duke of Brabant navigated the challenges of war, exile, and the rigors of school life. As he would later go on to become King Leopold III of the Belgians, this image offers a unique glimpse into the formative years of a monarch who would shape the course of his country's history.
