A Sensible King and His Simple Statecraft
Lord Palmerston praised the Belgian King’s simple rule: avoid meddling, demand a parliamentary majority from ministers, and carry on. In 1848 Belgian extremists pressed abdication, prompting the king to demand safe terms or further disturbance be halted. He cited his annuity, widower’s pension, and a Claremont life interest as leverage. Van De Weyer and Nothomb offered protection for the king’s slumbers.
