Albert Émile Joseph Benoît François d'Assise Anne Marie Ghislain de Beauffort was born in St-Gilles, Brussels on 20 March 1899.
The result was a sort of power-sharing arrangement between Vice-Governor Paul Ermens and State Inspector Albert de Beauffort.
[3] Beauffort and his wife were among the donators to the Musée de la vie indigène in Leopoldville from its inception.
[citation needed] He was president of the bureau for administering the Queen Elisabeth Fund for Medical Assistance to the Indigenous People of the Belgian Congo (Fonds Reine Elisabeth pour l’ Assistance Médicale aux Indigènes du Congo belge).
de Beauffort, former state inspector in the Belgian Congo, president and administrator of colonial societies, was promoted to commander of the Order of Leopold.
