Times are changing, even for the most traditional and conservative institutions, such as the royal houses, which in recent years have been accepting unequal marriages, divorces and other small revolutions.

None had openly entered the field of

homosexuality,

until now, with the

official exit from the closet

of

Francisco Maria de Baviera

, head of the royal house of Wittelsbach, the last reigning family of the Kingdom of Bavaria.

The duke has never hidden his relationship with

Thomas Greinwald, his

boyfriend for years, but until now they had not posed together.

The

royal

and his partner have put themselves before the lens of the Dutch photographer and artist

Erwin Olaf

, one of Máxima de Holland's favorites.

The image will go down in history as the Duke of Bavaria, a descendant of Empress Sissi,

the first head of a European royal house to openly declare himself gay.

The image is part of

Erwin Olaf's exhibition titled

Incredibly Beautiful,

open since last May 14 at the

Kunsthalle museum in Hamburg.

In it the duke appears with his partner, dressed in the Tyrolean style, in one of the rooms of the palace.

The Duke

would have been King of Bavaria

if the monarchy had not been abolished in 1918.
