Leopold III (3 November 1901 – 25 September 1983) reigned as King of the Belgians from 1934 until 1951, when he abdicated in favour of the heir apparent, his son Baudouin. From 1944 until 1950, Leopold's brother, Charles, served as prince regent while Leopold was declared incompetent to rule. In 1950, the debate about whether Leopold could return to the throne provoked a political crisis known as the Royal Question.
Leopold III was born in Brussels as Prince Leopold of Belgium, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and succeeded to the throne of Belgium on 23 February 1934 following the death of his father, King Albert I. He was invested as the 1,154th Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece in Spain in 1923, the 355th Grand Cross of the Order of the Tower and Sword (Portugal) in 1927 and the 833rd Knight of the Order of the Garter (England) in 1935.
Prince Leopold, Duke of Brabant, was sent by his father to Eton College in the United Kingdom in 1915. After the war, in 1919, the Duke visited the Old Mission and Saint Anthony Seminary in Santa Barbara, California. He married Princess Astrid of Sweden in a civil ceremony in Stockholm on 4 November 1926, followed by a religious ceremony in Brussels on 10 November. The marriage produced three children:

Leopold III was King of the Belgians from 1934 to 1951. He served as a front-line soldier in World War I and came to the throne after the tragic death of his father in a rock climbing accident. During World War II he led the Belgian army, resisting the Germans for 18 days (longer than any other of the low countries) before surrendering; for which he was criticized by the Allies. Leopold III was also castigated for remaining in Belgium with his people during the German occupation. He went to Switzerland after the Axis defeat and finally, because of deep political divisions at home, he decided to abdicate in 1951 in favor of his son King Baudouin. He died in 1983.
