| Summary | "My Own Affairs" by the Princess of Belgium Louise is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book reflects on the author's experiences and feelings as a royal, portraying her struggles with personal and familial turmoil. Louise recounts her life, touching on themes of love, loss, betrayal, and the complexities of royal duties, all while emphasizing her deep affection for her native Belgium. The beginning of the memoir introduces us to Louise's poignant reflections on her royal upbringing and the burdens it has carried throughout her life. She candidly expresses the pain of her royal lineage, describing her initial idealization of life and the subsequent disillusionment that came with her marriage at a young age. There, she hints at the harsh realities she faced, including feelings of isolation and the struggle for authenticity amidst the expectations of the royal court. This opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of her identity as a princess and the conflicting emotions surrounding her existence in a world that often felt constrictive and disheartening.
