King Baudouin of Belgium abdicates in 1950

In 1 August 1950 King Leopold III requested that his son Baudouin be named Regent and a year later he abdicated in his favour... Baudouin was a devoted Roman Catholic and he was thinking to abdicate in order to become a priest...
However Royal advisors and the Government persuaded him that Belgian Monarchy couldnt survive 2 abdications in a row so he remained King...
WI Baudouin stuck to his guns and insisted abdicating? His brother Albert would have succeed him but he was still a minor and he would need a Regent... Maybe Leopold III recalls his abdication or Baudouin (now as priest/monk is declared a Regent?
How is that changing History? Any thoughts?
 
in that Case His brother became Albert II of Belgium in year 1955 (wen he is 21 years old)
that only 5 year
why not Baudouin as Regent ? (Leopold III was not option, had he take Regent, its means Civil War)
or regent from Nobility Belgium ? like the loyal family d'Udekem-d'Acoz

Albert II of Belgium is know for his more pramantic way to do Politic as His Brother Baudouin
this had avoid a lot problems of Belgium history.

and Baudouin ?
most likey he made a carriere in Roman Catholic church
priests then bishops mabye even Pope !
so no Karol Józef Wojtyła but Baudouin Albert Charles Léopold Axel Marie Gustave of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
became John Paul II in 1978
