59 years to December 19, 1962 when King Leopold III of Belgium returned home from a trip to Brazil and was met by his wife, Princess Liliane, in a chic leopard print turban and matching muff. Leopard print for Leopold?! Am I the only one smelling a romantic private message here?!

That is a seriously chic look!
It was probably real leopard then, right? Glad those days are over!
