I myself wouldn't assume that. I've seen vintage belts very much like that.

When did such belts fall out of fashion what was in their style that required them to be worn so high up?

Do keep in mind that this is a characature and that all proportions are out of whack in this drawing. For example, I sincerely doubt that His Majesty's head and torso are the same size in real life... :-)
With that in mind, the width and height of his waist belt may not be all that different than what we would expect.
