Background: THE WEATHER TODAY WAS UNUSUAL GOOD, WHEN EX-KING LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM DROPPED DOWN AT BROMMA AIRPORT FOR A SHORT VISIT. THE REASON FOR THE MEETING BETWEEN THE KING AND EX-KING IS OF COURSE THE COMING(?) FUNERAL OF PRINCESS INGEDORG - THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KING GOSTAV ADOLF AND LEOPOLD. HE HAS BEEN VERY CLOSE - LEOPOLD WAS MARRIED TO LATE PRINCESS INGEBORG'S DAUGHTER, PRINCESS ASTRID, SHE WHOM LIVED BESIDE LEOPOLD AS THE QUEEN OF BELGIUM, AND IN (I AM NOT SURE) 1977 SHE WAS KILLED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT IN SWITZERLAND.

EX-KING LEOPOLD WAS WELCOMED BY HM THE KING AND PRINCE BERTIL - AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY LONG TIME SINCE LAST - LEOPOLD WAS IN COMPANY WITH HIS WIFE - (I THINK HERE NAME IS ANNE)
THEY WENT IMMEDIATELY FOR A WAITING DINNER AT THE ROYAL CASTER. HIS IS NOT GOING TO ATTEND THE CEREMONIES.
