1931 Carol Michael Romania Rumania
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a tender moment between King Carol II of Romania (1893-1953) and his ten-year-old son, Crown Prince Michael (1921-), at Pelisor Castle in Sinaia, Romania, in 1931. The regal father and son duo are seen seated in the castle's opulent surroundings, with the young prince gazing intently at his father, who places a protective hand on his son's shoulder. King Carol II, a charismatic and controversial monarch, had come to power in 1930 following the abdication of his father, King Ferdinand I. The new king was known for his modernizing reforms and his penchant for glamour and luxury. In this portrait, he is depicted in formal attire, exuding an air of confidence and authority. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Michael, the eldest son of King Carol II and his second wife, Queen Elisabeth of Wied, was rumored to be soon attending Eton College in England for his education. The young prince's future as the heir to the Romanian throne was uncertain, as his father's reign was marked by political instability and turmoil. The photograph was taken at Pelisor Castle, a stunning neo-Renaissance palace built in the late 19th century, which had been the royal family's residence since the early 20th century. The castle's grandeur and elegance are reflected in the image, providing a fitting backdrop for this intimate portrait of a father and son.
