I think she should end up living a quieter life than a public one. She is lucky that the reaction is muted since if this were more covered, then it would be clear that there might be a backlash. It is clear to me that she's reached a point where she has it all now and should just go on and make a life for herself away from the Belgian RF.
I keep explaining on other social media that she is NOT entitled to a title, etc, but there are those that are happy with this decision. Why should she be punished for what her parents did? Well, nobody is owed anything grand or a perfect childhood, etc, because of their parents may or may not have done. We are all dealt the hand we are dealt with, for better or worse, and we ALL have to cope with that. None of us is immune. I think it's her sense of entitlement and making a loud and ugly show of things that is a huge turn-off. But then again, never been one for airing the family dirty laundry for all and sundry - work out your issues and problems PRIVATELY.

Look, if she had been left in a gutter with no one, I can see why she would be horribly bitter about it. But she wasn't and she had a stepfather who was making her his sole heir to his billions. Then she threw that away. Then she really seems to think that Philippe will just let bygones be bygones and she will be welcomed like the illegitimate child of Badouin, but that other child (named Isabelle) didn't take attention from Philippe the way that Delphine did. Delphine didn't ask for the attention or the situation, but she also didn't have the right to go on a public campaign. She had a SWEET setup and she had a solidly good life for herself. Fact is, that Albert knew and Paola knew and Belgian society knew and she knew (from her mother) and yet Jacques continued to take care of her and make her his sole heir. Just because she wasn't out and about it all in public does not mean that she suffered. She didn't like it, but she was not left in the gutter to rot in poverty. She could have a ditzy art career and have a mindless life where she would be able to afford lawsuits against the RF on a yearly basis lasting over a decade (or two).

Never heard of that!

Yeah, I can't remember where I read it, but yeah, supposedly there is a lovechild as well that is accepted socially by the RF of Belgium.

This is just such a terrible mess. I really regret that Delphine was told anything and I regret that Albert didn't just own up and publicly admit that he had had a child out of wedlock. I also did read that up until Albert had dropped her, he had been communicating with her up until as recent as 1999.

I did realize that by renouncing the Boel name and legal relationship, she has just disinherited herself. There is no way that Jacques is required to give her anything now that she has fully removed the Boel name from herself. I read now Jacques can remove her completely and make sure that she doesn't get a cent. She wont' really get anything and it is clear that she might have just ruined herself financially. Albert could stash cash under another name and just end up with the ability to leave her with next to nothing as well.

I read somewhere that Albert could or may be stashing the cash so to speak with Paola. I am not unsympathetic actually. Guess right now my sympathy is with the innocent family members hurt or humiliated by this rather ugly mess. Delphine kept ( and yes Albert too) this mess going for years - maybe their fractious relationship is their karma?

All Albert had to do was state that he had a kid out of wedlock, but thing is, that he didn't need to call Delphine crazy or comment publicly at all. I do think that Philippe will resent Delphine to his dying day and will never welcome her into the bosom of his family. Delphine is someone who had the love and affection and attention that he was denied during his formative years and I cannot imagine that he has been unaffected by that. I also believe that Philippe hates how she's being given a title that he is clearly not giving to extended relations (although they have more a right to it by birth) and Delphine is not paying attention to the fact that she just cut herself off of hundreds of millions, if not billions in cash and now Jacques owes her nothing. Not under the law. Albert has supposedly been stashing cash under Paola's name and it is clear that Paola will not tolerate the demands that Delphine might make at the time of Albert's death. So now this woman might have to end up forgoing a silly art 'career' in favor of something more practical.

I just hope this is over and that Delphine is is content. She has her recognition and a title to boot, so she has all she could possibly need and want.

I have no idea if this is a good idea; at the same time, I believe that it is a decent thing to do.

Cripes. It is clear that even 'just' 60 million is too much and nearly a billion US a year is obscene. Too obscene really. I sometimes wonder if there is a correlation between marrying commoners and also the rise in the cost of monarchy. These 'down to earth' types really do load up on the couture and the huge jewels and trips to exotic places. Queen Maxima's gargantuan jewels don't come cheap and neither do hair treatments and grooming and staff salaries.
Yeah, sure, as if he knew what that meant. Never mentioned how her landowner father was part of a homicidal dictatorial regime.

They are in the billions, yet they rake in tax-money too? That is insane. As for Willem, clearly he sees nothing wrong with marrying a woman from a family of dirty money.
