Recognising he is the “biological father” of Belgian artist Delphine Boel, the 85-year-old ex-monarch said in a statement that he had decided to halt a “painful” paternity legal battle that has dragged on since 2013, the year he abdicated and lost his immunity.
Boel, now aged 51, has maintained that her aristocratic mother, Sybille de Selys Longchamps, had an affair with Albert between 1966 and 1984. She was raised by her mother’s husband, Jacques Boel, but won a court decision that he was not her “legal father.” In a statement on Monday, Albert’s lawyers said the ex-king “has learnt the results of the DNA test... the scientific conclusions indicate that he is the biological father of Mrs Delphine Boel.”
But Boel’s lawer Marc Uyttendaele, asked on RTL television about his client’s rights to a royal inheritance, said that she is “a legitimate child just like any other.”
