For his day and age, he seemed to have been pretty based. Was close to his soldiers, didn’t send them into senseless offensives, and after the war he played a role in liberalising the voting system of that time.
Not sure about his track record in Congo, but I guess it’s hard to do worse than Leopold II.
Perhaps our historians can clear this one up: was there or wasn’t there a Prins Albert in his personal affects?

Koning Albert in legerkledij op Marche-les-Dames
J’ai toujours eu de la sympathie pour notre cher roi Albert 1er 🥰
gefeliciteerd Albert🥳🍻🥳
De enige goede koning die ons ooit gediend heeft. Spijtig dat zijn moord nooit deftig onderzocht is.
Worst move he ever made
Dat zou ook al nen oude sloeber zijn, moest hij nog leven.
Greatest king we ever had, which honestly is pretty easy to do.
Oooh, he looks like some old coins 😀 (yeah, I know… x) )
Ill cancel my climbing appointment now. Thx for the warning
was this the king that fell of a cliff?
We’re keeping the kingdom free
Lead the way, we will follow into the fray
We will hold the line we will not be led astray
For king and for country, we are flooding the river
Our stand at Yser will be, the end of the race to the sea
The last piece of Belgium is free, we’re keeping a sliver
A cog in the war machine, October of 1914
As our foe draws forth we are moving on north
We will never let them have it all
There’s a price for freedom paid by Belgiums sons
They may take our towns, they may conquer our grounds
We’ll defend the nation and the crown
We’ll uphold our independence with our guns
American here. Does someone want to explain the significance of this man in Belgium’s history? (Of course I’m going to look it up also)
He looks tired of your shenanigans.

If ever we had a hero warrior king.. it was this guy
