Prior to becoming King of the Belgians, he served as the consort of the heir to the British throne, Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales, who died in childbirth in 1817.  In 1832, Leopold married a French princess, Louise-Marie d'Orléans. After bearing her husband four children, she passed away on October 11, 1850.  The following are a few of the articles on this blog dealing with Leopold and Louise-Marie.
