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?
