Leopold tries to recover tragic accident
September 15, 1935
The grieving King Leopold III of the Belgians today left with his mother, the Dowager Queen Elisabeth, for the estate of Duchess Karl Theodore in Bavaria. The Duchess, the former Infanta Maria Josefa of Portugal is Queen Elisabeth's mother.
The king and his mother plan to stay in Germany for a week, where he will try to regain his health.
Princess Axel of Denmark, the sister of the late Queen Astrid, is now caring for the king's three children.
A Palace spokesman said, according to the New York Times, that the royal family will soon move into the palace at Laeken because "Stuyvenberg Palace reminds the king too insistently of his wife," who was killed in an auto accident in Switzerland.
