EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Princess Marie Jose of Belgium, born in 1906, is captured at the tender age of nine, as a royal refugee during the early weeks of the First World War. With her expressive brown eyes and an air of determination, she gazes intently at a book, perhaps seeking solace or knowledge amidst the chaos of the war that had forced her and her brothers to seek refuge in Britain. As the daughter of King Albert I of Belgium, Marie Jose was a symbol of Brave Little Belgium and a poster girl for the Allied causes during the war. Her image frequently graced the pages of illustrated magazines, including The Tatler, as a reminder of the plight of the Belgian people and the importance of the Allied efforts. Marie Jose's life was marked by significant historical events. She would later become the Queen Consort of Italy, married to Umberto, Prince of Piedmont, and the Duke of Savoy. Her reign was marked by political instability and economic hardships, but she remained a steadfast figure of strength and resilience. This photograph, taken in 1915, offers a poignant glimpse into the life of a young princess during a time of war and upheaval. It serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of the Belgian people and the enduring power of a single image to capture the hearts and minds of the public.
