Albert II – King of Belgium

royalmonarchies:

  • A symbol to the entire nation and appoints the Belgian cabinet after an election
  • A titular head of state
  • Born 6 June 1934
  • During WWII the Germans deported him and the royal Belgium children to Hirschstein in Germany. Later they were moved to Strobl in Austria. On 7 May 1945 the American Army liberated the children. The royal family finally returned to Belgium on 22 July 1950 when they finally left Switzerland. 
  • Delphine Boël is his alleged illegitimate daughter. Though some believe it is just gossip.

Official Royal Residence: Royal Palace in Brussels

  • The King’s Palace
  • Neo-classic architectural marvel
  • Open to the public during the summer
  • King Albert II prefers to live in Chateau de Laeken

 I’m not an expert on Belgian royalty, but from what I gather he’s all but admitted paternity of the lovechild. He’s always struck me as a bit of a slimeball.
