Will Delphine Boël be a princess soon? | Entertainment

entertainment">Originally it was about recognition of that fatherhood, but that has not been discussed since January. Albert acknowledged that he is indeed the father of the artist Delphine, born in 1968 from his extramarital relationship with Sybille de Sélys Longchamps. The result of a DNA test also gave him no choice.

entertainment">But with that recognition not all loose ends have been tied together. The judges now have to determine which surname Delphine will be given Boël, because the surname Boël is incorrect. That’s the name of her mother’s ex-husband. Will it be ‘From Belgium’ or a variant on it? It must also be determined whether Delphine, as a royal daughter, will become a princess with the predicate ‘royal highness’.

Naming and titles

entertainment">Delphine said at the beginning of the proceedings in 2013, when Albert’s immunity was lifted by his resignation, that it was only about recognition, but now that she has come this far, she also wants to have the naming and titles sorted out. The retired king’s lawyers have already stated that paternity is no longer in dispute and that Delphine also shares in the legacy, but they have not commented on the other elements.

entertainment">Possibly King Philippe was also consulted for this. In 2015, it changed the rules of who in the ever-expanding royal family can still call themselves prince / princess of Belgium.
