Belgian Royalty: Leopold III's Cape


Figure 1.-- We notice Prince Leopold at about age 12 wearing a cape with a fancy knichers suit. We do not know for sure, but we don't think that yhis is a costume. It appears that this is an outfit that Leopold actually wore and not a fancy dress costume. It seems rarther old fashioned, but apparently is how Leopold dressed. We do not know how commonly he wore caps and fancy outfits like this. This cold have been for a special event. Or perhaps he dressed like this more commonly. This we do not yet know. We suspect he had a coat for more informal wear.
