The Belgian Congress has chosen the second son of Louis-Philippe, the duke of Nemours, to be king of Belgium.
However, the French king, heeding the advice of Lord Palmerston of the British foreign office, repudiates the offer.
Lord Palmerston and the Great Powers desire a strong leader to prevent Belgium from falling under the control of France, and to prevent the outbreak of war.
Erasme Louis Surlet de Chokier is appointed Regent of Belgium on February 25.
