It is learned that the King feels too strongly the bitter tragedy which tore his beloved Queen Astrid from his aide. The only possibility of his remarriage would be for the sake of his three young, children.

Many people visit the chateau of Stuyvenberg where King Leopold and Queen Astrid knew their most Insting hours of happiness.

This beautiful mansion remains exactly as it was when the King, and Queen left on that fateful August morning last year for the motor trip which resulted in the death of Queen Astrid.

King Leopold was at the wheel of the car when it was travelling along a narrow road hear the popular Swiss lakeside resort, Kissnacht,
