The film Astrid is largely research based and remote viewed by me not much is there in terms of historical facts about their lives except bits and pieces I found as this is a smaller country in Europe so these royals were not as well known. Key highlights of their lives were that after the war like crimes of Leopold II on the Congolese they royals were very down to earth, modern, practical and welcoming to other races of people. They created improvements to the lives of Congolese people covered in the film. World War II came upon Europe and an adventure hit the family after Astrids car accident death with a new wife Lillian, Germany the family faced and imprisonment. 80 percent of the story is fact based with small changes such as Delaying Astrid's death a little longer in the story and condensing the prison terms in each location for the purpose of flow of the story.
Here we have photos as I find them relevant to the film ASTRID.
