Albert & Elisabeth

With this 'Books on Sunday', the Allaboutroyalfamilies blog continues

to review books about the Belgian royal family.

This is a bookreview I made on the Allaboutroyalfamilies blog

about the Dutch book: Albert & Elisabeth.

Albert & Elisabeth is written by Princess Esmeralda of Belgium and

Christophe Vachaudez. It was issued by Lannoo.

Based on numerous private photos, most of them were never published

before, the book 'Albert & Elisabeth' shows an intimate portrait of the

third Belgian King and Queen.

King Albert I of Belgium and Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, born

duchess in Bavaria, were very popular not only in their own country but

also in Europe, United Kingdom and the world, especially because of

their role during World War I.

With their popularity, then and now, in mind, this royal history book

full with lovely pictures is a real treasure to read.

Princess Esmeralda (also mentioned as Princess Marie-Esméralda) of

Belgium is the youngest daughter of King Leopold III and Lilian Baels. 

She is thus a granddaughter of King Albert I of Belgium and 

Queen Elisabeth.
