EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and familial bonding between Belgian Royalty and Italian nobility aboard the luxurious Marnix de Sainte-Aldegonde in Genoa, Italy, during January 1932. The image features King Leopold III of Belgium (1901-1983) and his wife, Queen Astrid of Belgium (1905-1935), warmly greeting Leopold's sister, Marie José of Belgium (1906-2001), and her husband, Prince Umberto (later Umberto II) of Italy (1904-1983). The siblings' shared history is evident in their affectionate expressions and body language, as they exchange pleasantries amidst the elegant surroundings. The 1930s, a period of political and social change, saw the Belgian and Italian monarchies forge strong alliances, making this encounter an intriguing snapshot of European royal history. The image is a testament to the personal connections that transcended borders and united the European aristocracy during this era.
