Astrid appears elegant and regal as she explores the colonies, exuding grace and poise befitting her status as royalty. Her presence symbolizes the connection between Belgium and its African territories during this period, highlighting the complexities of colonial rule.
The photograph is a fascinating historical document that offers insight into the dynamics of power and influence at play in Belgian society at that time.
