Auguste Goffinet

He was the son of Adrien Goffinet, who was made Aide-de-camp of King Leopold I at a very young age.

By decree of the Royal Household, Auguste Goffinet entered court on 15 February 1876, in service of the duke of Brabant.

During his career he was sent by Royal Command to various diplomatic missions and guarded the Private fortune of the King.

By Royal Command he guarded the Imperial Household of Charlotte of Mexico, the daughter of King Leopold I.

In 1993 the King Baudouin foundation purchased the archives of the brothers Goffinet, with important documents on royal court history.
