King Leopold III of The Belgians (1901-1983)

[Carminha Stalker]

I had the great honour of meeting ex-King Leopold III, when he came to Amazonas. As my Father was honorary consul of Belgium in Manaus, we had this great pleasure. King Leopold III, was a gentleman, a very nice person and became friends with my Father, and they exchanged letters frequently. When my Father died, I was living in England and wrote to the king to tell him about it. He had the grace of answering my letter and sending me a photo he had taken of myself and my Father in the window of the Opera House in Manaus.
I always heard through many sources that he was devoted to Queen Astrid and suffered terribly with her death, as did the three children.
His second wife Liliane, came to Manaus in one of his visits, but she was not a very agreable person. He was a true aristocrat and at the same time humane and thoughtful.I shall never forget him. God bless his soul.

I was moved by your story.
Thank you for your support of King Leopold III
You will be glad to hear that the truth is now being told about King Leopold III and his leadership in the 18 day campaign of 1940.

Feeding the

Crocodile:Was

Leopold Guilty?

Recent article written by THE CHURCHILL SOCIETY admitting that Winston Churchill had lied about King Leopold III that King Leopold failed to advise the British and the French regarding the capitulation of the Belgian army.

Churchill in his famous speech of June 4 1940 said

"Suddenly, without prior consultation,

with the least possible notice,

without the advice of his Ministers

and upon his own personal act, he

sent a plenipotentiary to the

German Command, surrendered

his Army and exposed our whole

flank and means of retreat."

What about the rumours about his cheating on the lovely unforgettable Queen Astrid?

This is pretty interesting. For other reasons, I never believed Churchill to be the perfect hero he was always made out to be.
Thanks!

Some time ago, I've read something about a possible marriage between King Leopold III and Archduchess Adelheid of Austria, after the death of Queen Astrid; is it true? Does someone have more informations about?
