Instead you had it hidden in the shoulder of a woman." The king's new wife was widely suspected of Nazism sympathies (one source reports that upon hearing of the wedding, Hitler sent flowers and a letter of congratulations), and the marriage was to many Belgians an affront to the memory of the beloved Queen Astrid.
