February 14, 1927
King Albert of the Belgians "enjoyed himself" today wandering about London alone, "on a window shopping tour," reports the Associated Press. He fed the pigeons at St. Paul's Cathedral, and when he was in Ludgate Circus. a "hurrying pedestrian" collided with him, said "sorry, and then "rushed on" without knowing that he had bumped into the Belgian king.
While the King was on a walking tour of London, his wife, Queen Elisabeth, did some shopping in Bond Street, where she purchased a few gowns and novelties. She was dressed in a "light gray suit and a small hat," was recognized by only a few people. She also paid "an informal visit to the Flemish art exhibit," and also went back for "another view of the pictures which she saw yesterday with King George and Queen Mary."
Tonight, the king and queen plan to see Sir Gerald du Maurier in "Interference." They leave for Belgium tomorrow, returning by boat, as fog has prevented the King's plan to make the trip by airplane."
