‘Stubborn King Albert made Delphine raise demands’ | Entertainment

entertainment">Initially it went Delphine, born in 1968 from a relationship of her mother Sybille by Selys Longchamps and the then Prince of Liège, just for the recognition of his paternity. It was actually certain that he was her father, but Albert had broken all contact and denied in all keys. After the enthronement in 2013, his immunity was lifted and Delphine went to court to seek clarification once and for all, and successive courts went with her. “Every child has the right to know who his father is,” was the leitmotiv in all procedures.

entertainment">Delphine told through her attorneys that it was not about money, titles, or other gain. But it turned out that she had changed course on Thursday at the final hearing at the Brussels Court. Delphine is demanding “the exact same privileges, titles and capacities as her two brothers and her sister,” her attorney Marc Uyttendaele stated after the treatment, which took place behind closed doors. “She no longer wants to be discriminated against,” his colleague said Alain De Jonge at.

entertainment">According to The newspapaer that was in response to the cold, calculating way in which King Albert at the beginning of this year, via a simple press release, finally admitted that he was indeed her father “with the statement that there had never been a connection.” With this, something has come to Delphine, the newspaper learned from the artist’s close friends: the king missed yet another chance to admit her existence in an elegant, human way.

entertainment">That made Delphine, who has to look for a different surname, decide to increase her demands. Counsel Alain De Jonge gave a summary on Thursday: the surname Van Saxe-Coburg, the title of princess of Belgium with the predicate ‘Royal Highness’. King Albert’s lawyers believe she should start new proceedings, but Delphine’s legal team hopes the Court of Appeal will “make a wise judgment.”
