EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Queen Elizabeth of Belgium (1876-1965) is seen with her two eldest children, Princess Marie José (b. 1906) and Prince Leopold, Duke of Brabant (b. 1901), during their stay in Britain in 1914. The Belgian Royal Family had been invited by King George V for their safety amidst the German invasion of their country at the onset of the First World War. The image captures the regal elegance of the Belgian Queen, who wears an ornate tiara and a necklace adorned with pearls, as she tenderly holds her daughter's hand. Marie José, dressed in a white dress with a bow in her hair, gazes up at her mother with a serious expression. Her brother, Prince Leopold, stands beside them, wearing a military uniform and holding a hat in his hand. The family's presence in Britain marked a significant moment in wartime history, as the Belgian monarchy had refused to sign an armistice with Germany, choosing instead to seek refuge abroad. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges and uncertainties faced by European royals during the early days of the First World War. The image is a testament to the close relationship between the British and Belgian monarchies, as well as the efforts made to protect the Belgian Royal Family during a time of great upheaval. The photograph also highlights the resilience and determination of the Belgian people, who continued to resist German occupation throughout the war. This historical image is a valuable addition to any collection focused on royalty, European history, or the First World War. The intricate details of the subjects' clothing and accessories, as well as the sense of wartime tension, make it a captivating and evocative piece.
