    Another great short from you. Such a bittersweet story of this lovely devoted couple, my eyes welled up a bit. They are surely resting in peace together.

    Paola era la più bella ma Fabiola l'ha aiutata tanto
    Tutt'altro che una suora ha vissuto un amore vivo e passionale ma volto ad una autentica fede
    Era di una grazia e bellezza aristocratica da innumerevoli generazioni, per quello che umanamente può contare
    Ha continuato a sostenere e cementare tutta la famiglia anche dopo la scomparsa di Baldovino
    Senza di lei la storia del Belgio negli ultimi decenni i sarebbe stata diversa

    cela est votre avis. Queen elisabeth était une personne différente de Fabioka très intelligente parlant 4 langues et qui a succédé à son père à l âge de 25 ans. Elle a consacré sa vie à la couronne avant sa vie personnelle.

    Sad that she was not kind to her daughter-in-law, who had a husband who chose to sleep around, it seemed nobody got on his case to stop but his wife was bullied by the family. Double standard still accepted.

    The historical facts about the abdication of his father Leopold III are not correct in this video. During the mai days of 1940 he surrendered to the German army to spare lives -and he was therefore the most popular king in Belgium. More so because he didn't flee to England but stayd with the people. Next the Belgian government of that time who was in London was utterly dispised by the Belgian people. When they came back in 1944 they forbade the kind to reign again. The Belgian peopled voted for king Leopold to stay king !!! So it is not true that the Belgians did not want Leopold III. Bauduin even did not want to be king because he wanted his father to stay!

      I had always read the former story, not the one you're stating, but your story is the one that makes sense to me. I have read that they were prisoners of the Nazis. In fact, the Nazis wanted to kill them all and gave them poison disguised as candy for the children. Thanks to his second wife's suspicions of the Nazi's intentions, she didn't give them to the children and so they lived. I was quite surprised to read that the King was viewed as a traitor! King Leopold tried to be a good king and he was maligned unfairly. I don't know why the story hasn't been corrected yet.

      @@BlueSaphire70 The bit about the poisoning etc is not true. The king was since mai 1940 a prisoner of war. He and his family were transported in july 1944 to Germany against their will. The king was viewed as a traitor only by the elite that was the exiled governemt in London -they were the real traitors, but then they came back in september 1944 when the allied were in Belgium and they took on the governement again because they were supported by the allied forces. Most of the history of the second world war is biased -the victors story is the one that is told always

      @@jennymees5907 I think what happened was that Leopold III exceeded his authority when he surrendered Belgium to the Nazis. Belgium had been a constitutional monarchy for over 100 years at the time, so it probably was not his place to make that decision. I agree that his motives were pure because he wanted less suffering for his people, no doubt remembering the awful Flanders Fields of WWI. I also don't think he was a traitor at all. He was a prisoner of war! He and his family suffered all the indignities and hardships of an occupied territory along with the rest of his country, something which endeared him to his people. It was totally unfair what happened to him after the war, but he did mess up by surrendering. Other than a public apology by him for having exceeded the scope of his position, maybe abdication was the only solution open to him. However, I think it is wrong to perpetuate the image of King Leopold III as the "traitor king" because it is simply not true.

      @@jennymees5907 King Leopold III participated in WWI and no doubt was horrified by the prospect of another carnage. I agree that he acted on the best of intentions, but you can't ignore the fact that a constitutional monarch is supposed to be Commander-in-Chief in name only, as a representative of the country, which is quite different to the role of absolute monarch. I am not an expert on constitutional monarchies nor of the Belgian Constitution, but I think that being the Commander-in-Chief in name only lacks the authority to surrender without the government's say so. That being said, I still think King Leopold III was unfairly treated by the government, calling him a traitor without any justification whatsoever.

      Ein schönes Gesicht macht keinen Menschen aus. Der Charakter zählt.Davon hätte Fabiola mehr zu bieten. Aber für oberflächliche Menschen zählt ja nur das Äußere und zu denen scheinen sie ja zu gehören. Sehr armselige Lebenseinstellung.
