EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Prince Charles, Count of Flanders, Prince of Belgium (1903-1983), as a young cadet in the British Navy uniform during World War I. The second son of Albert I, King of the Belgians, and Duchess Elisabeth in Bavaria, Prince Charles was only around fourteen years old at the time this image was taken. During the tumultuous period of the First World War, the Belgian Royal Family, including King Albert I and Queen Elisabeth, and their children, were compelled to seek refuge in England. This decision was made to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the Belgian monarchy, as the war raged on in their homeland. The young Prince Charles, eager to contribute to the war effort, joined the British Navy as a cadet. This photograph provides a poignant reminder of his youthful determination and patriotism during a time of great upheaval. The image also serves as a testament to the close relationship between Belgium and the United Kingdom during the early 20th century. This evocative photograph, taken in 1917, offers a unique glimpse into the life of a young royal during wartime. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Belgian Royal Family and the enduring bond between the two nations.
