EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tender moment between LEOPOLD II, King of Belgium, and his dear friend Cleo Merode. The two are seated in a cozy room, with Cleo cuddled up next to the king on a sofa. Their friendship is evident in their relaxed posture and warm smiles.
In the background, Leopold's daughters can be seen peeking around the corner, curious about their father's companion. They playfully ask if they can have Cleo's clothes when she's finished with them, showing their innocence and admiration for her fashionable attire.
The image offers a glimpse into the personal life of royalty during the late 19th century, showcasing moments of intimacy and companionship that often go unseen by the public eye. It humanizes historical figures like Leopold II and sheds light on the relationships that shaped their lives beyond politics and power.
As we reflect on this touching scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the universal desire for connection and camaraderie that transcends social status or wealth. The bond between Leopold II and Cleo Merode serves as a reminder that true friendship knows no bounds – not even those of royal lineage.
