Delphine Boël He became blue-blooded since the court gave its verdict last October. At 52, the artist, who has carried the surname Boël all this time, has seen how the bitter story of her ending as an illegitimate daughter to becoming Princess of Belgium ended, just like her children, Joséphine and Oscar .
After years of denials by the King Albert II, justice ordered her to undergo a genetic analysis and science dispelled all doubt, since Délphine is a Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The controversy had ended, although, with the proof in her hand, the artist wanted to go to the end and demanded that the courts treat her, moreover, on an equal footing with her other siblings.
what i asked for Delphine Boël it is that she received the treatment of princess and royal highness and had the right to a possible inheritance. And justice also granted it. It was then that Alberto and King Felipe, currently on her throne, invited her to the palace to “get to know her better”, something impossible months ago.
It all starts with an extramarital affair of the King Albert II when he was still a prince and better known for his love affairs than for his attachment to the crown and his wife, Princess Paola, one of the most beautiful “royals” in Europe. Alberto began, in 1966, a relationship that became the biggest royal scandal.
Two years later a girl was born. Delphine Boël, who was given the surname of her legal father, the businessman Jacques Boël, who always considered her his daughter, even after his divorce from Sybille. The love story between Alberto and Sybille lasted twenty years, in secret, despite the fact that it was an insistent rumor in the editorial offices of Belgian newspapers.
TO Delphine BoëlWhen she decided to fight, she was accused of simply wanting the inheritance of Albert II. But it soon became clear that this was not the case, because her legal father’s estate was much higher than that of the royal family. And she, in fact, forfeited Boël’s inheritance when he disinherited her for taking the issue of her parentage to court.
