Royalty: Exiled Belgian King Returns Under Cloud With Belgian's parliament nearly evenly divided on the issue of his return, King Leopold after 6 years in exile returns by air to take over the uneasy throne of his homeland, Belgian. In exile since the surrender to the Nazis ten years ago, he is heavily guarded by troops during the drive from the airport. A narrow majority of 57.7% of votes in favor of the King being allowed back from Switzerland.
