I was referring to author Paul Belien's assertion that Lilian had become pregnant, which necessitated a speedy secret wedding.
When the Belgians became aware of both the secret commoner mistress and the wedding, they were not happy.
But Leopold III had no choice but to marry her once she became pregnant I guess.
Thanks for your research TM.
I am not sure why a marriage was needed due to the pregnancy. In 1940 he already had an extramarital daughter (named Ingeborg Verdun) with ice skater Liselotte Landbeck.
