 Baudouin - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Baudouin
In 1950 his father, Leopold III, abdicated and Baudouin was known until his succession in 1951 as Le Prince Royal.
His father, seen by some as a Nazi appeaser, abdicated in favour of his son, but was still widely believed to be the power behind the throne.
Naturally self-effacing and living much of his life in the shadow of his much-criticized father, Baudouin was a reluctant monarch who would have preferred a private existence, but who eventually won his people's trust and affection through his transparent honesty and integrity.
