6 Belgium’s ‘Secret Princess’ meets with father in shock royal family reunion | 60 Minutes Australia

23 nov. 2020

Game of Thrones (Update) (2020) Everyone knows royal scandals rarely end well. But on 60 MINUTES we have an unlikely exception. 
 
A few weeks ago, Liam Bartlett reported the dirty little secret of the Belgian royal family: that the former king, Albert the second, had had an 18-year affair and fathered a love child. His illegitimate daughter, Delphine Boel, kept quiet for years until she decided she had a right to be called a princess. When she took her case to court – and won – there was enormous embarrassment in the palace. But now in this intriguing game of thrones comes an unexpected rapprochement, and maybe even a fairytale ending.
 

7 Delphine Boel becomes Belgian Princess Delphine

10 okt. 2020

(5 Oct 2020) Delphine Boel has been acknowledged as Belgian Princess Delphine of Saxe-Coburg, after a two-decade royal paternity scandal.
Still, she said on Monday she’d still rather be considered an artist than a royal.
Last week, a Belgian court ruled in her favor and officially recognized here as the daughter of former King Albert II, something the aging monarch had fought tooth and nail to avoid ever since the paternity allegations became public.
For Delphine, she said going to court was all about getting family recognition and the love of a father who had always coldshouldered her.
The former king, whose son Philippe is the reigning monarch, could still make an ultimate legal appeal at the Court of Cassation, but Delphine said it would not go that far. “I think it is finished now.”
King Albert decided in January to no longer fight a claim that he is the father of Boel, after he finally agreed to have a DNA test and received the results.
Rumors about Albert and Boel’s mother, the aristocratic wife of a well-heeled industrialist, had been around for years.
But the news that the king might have had a child with her broke into the open when a biography of Albert’s wife, Queen Paola, was published in 1999.
Boel bears a striking resemblance to certain members of the royal family, including Albert II.
During her adult life she became a sculptor and her works are known for their colorful, quirky, and sometimes provocative style.
She said it will continue to define her.
“I am still going to be Delphine. I am not going to be hanging out in the streets saying, please call me princess,” she said, adding charity work could be an exception.
She said she didn’t know if the recognition would translate into warmer family bonds anytime soon.
“If you ask me whether I am expecting anything from the royal family, as I said, I am not expecting anything. I am just going to carry on with my work,” she said. “And however, if suddenly they show a sign of life, I would never put my back to them. That’s for sure.”
Her two children Josephine and Oscar will also be allowed to carry royal titles.

8 Belgian King Philippe meets half-sister Princess Delphine for the first time

16 okt. 2020

Belgian King Philippe meets half-sister Princess Delphine for the first time
 
Belgium’s Princess Delphine finally met her half-brother King Philippe for the first time, following her successful legal battle to use a royal title. The siblings enjoyed a “warm encounter” last Friday, the royal family’s official Facebook account says. The princess, who is 52, spent years fighting to be recognised as a child of former King Albert. He admitted paternity in January. A court later granted her the same rights and titles as his children by marriage. The decision was announced on 1 October. A message issued by King Philippe and Princess Delphine said on Thursday they had met for the first time at the Castle of Laken the previous week. “This long and rich discussion gave us the opportunity to learn to know each other. We talked about our respective lives and areas of shared interest,” they said. “This bond will further develop within the family setting.” Delphine Boël, an artist, won her court case on 1 October. According to the ruling, she and her two children can now hold the surname of her father, Saxe-Cobourg. She will be entitled to receive an inheritance after Albert’s death, along with his three other children – Prince Laurent, Princess Astrid and King Philippe. Despite her new title, Princess Delphine will not receive any royal endowment. But Albert must pay nearly €3.4m (£3.1m) to cover her legal fees, according to local outlet De Standaard. Princess Delphine’s mother, Baroness Sybille de Selys Longchamps, says she had an 18-year affair with Albert before he was king. Rumours first emerged that he had fathered a child with another woman after it was disclosed in an unauthorised biography of Albert’s wife, Queen Paola, published in 1999. The princess first alleged on the record that King Albert was her biological father during a 2005 interview, but it was not until he abdicated in 2013 – when he lost his immunity to prosecution – that she opened court proceedings. The 86-year-old had resisted court orders to undergo DNA testing until he was facing fines of €5,000 per day for refusing to do so. In January, he announced that he accepted her as his fourth child after he had “learnt the results of the DNA tests”. Belgium has a constitutional monarchy in which the king plays a largely ceremonial role.
