Albert's and Paola's Phone Calls Monitored by King Boudewijn

The late King Boudewijn of the Belgians monitored the telephone calls of his brother Albert and Albert's wife Paola.

This was revealed in "Royalty" on the commercial TV station VTM. Apparently, Boudewijn wanted to keep an eye on what his brother and sister-in-law were up to.

Researchers working for "Royalty" got hold of a document which shows that the telephone lines of the royal family were centralised in Brussels. The system had been installed under the reign of King Leopold III, but was used in the 60ies by Boudewijn to monitor who received telephone calls from whom, and to block certain calls if needed.
