Most Favourably Viewed Monarchs in Modern History

[Andy T]

In Europe, since World War 1, modern constitutional monarchy has become the norm. I'm curious about which monarch(s) in each country (if any) is (or will be) viewed/remembered particularly favorably or sympathetically as a model/example? I haven't included monarchs whose reigns were mainly before 1918.

Belgium:
Albert I
Leopold III
Baudouin
Albert II
Philippe

Bulgaria
Boris III
Simeon II

Denmark
Christian X
Frederik IX
Margrethe II

I wouldn’t include current monarchs in the list as the judgment for them is still out every one of the current monarchs has the chance to make a Juan Carlos and tarnish their reputation in their last year on the throne!
