Yes, please let's DO be honest! She was actually living and working as such BEFORE she was drug out into the open by the author. At that point no one knew. I see nothing positive in the way she is being treated by the palace, the kings apologists or the people, including Boel who are acting as if she should be ashamed and hide because she is somehow unworthy due to the sins of her parents!
Oh, because she has some piece of art without a crown, the word ****, the word king or the belgian flag?
Bang? Really? I see more problems with your statements, honestly. Are you one of the King's friends? Unless you sit in his office I doubt seriously you know more than anyone posting. The news is international, we all read and see the same things. No one nation has more knowledge anymore. The Internet is global now.
You have two post, both about Delphine, act like you do know better than us... so that's why I asked. I have a few more posts, and unlike you in different forums. I didn't wanted to attack you, just ask.
And to be honest, yes, I do know things that a lot of people do not. That's one of the benefits of living in the country of the story actually happened and where you can talk to people who saw things, being related with some families, etc.
You said Baudouin said that divorce equals abdication and that's why Paola fought for her marriage.
1) Sybille said the divorce paper were ready and about to be sent.
2) Albert was never expected to reign. Everyone (including Albert and Boudouin) tought that Philippe would be the next king. But Boudouin died too early, and he wasn't prepared well enough yet.
3) People do fall in love again, that happens. People might see their fault, especially when finalizing a divorce, and want to try again. There are millions of love stories where it happened. Why not Paola and Albert?
You know how they went back together, do you? It happened at a bal. They are all written over again in books and biographies. Then Astrid initiated them in catholic groups, etc.
Her mother was interviewed, right. But then Delphine has her own implication in this affair. I do not hate Delphine, it's okay to want to seek the truth. It's not okay if her mother wants to steal the show and say everything she wants for Delphine's sake. She clearly takes profit of this history, and yes, sometimes what people do has repercutions on other people. That's sad.
If the King had done the right thing with his child, the "crazy, frustrated old woman" would never have been on any tv.
Yeaaah, let me seriously doubt about that one.
And then, it's not like she was abandonned and never had a father. She had one, Jacques Boël.
Belgium is a small country and Albert still holds a lot of cards. Doors all over will be closed as long as the palace treats her badly because people will want favor with the king and lack courage to stand for what is right lest they be treated like she and his son Laurent!!
How he treated Laurent. That's quite funny actually. You should reread all the items of the forum about Laurent. Just to see who treats who badly.
Alberts lawyer also mentioned that he intervened when Delphine had difficulties. All we ever get to hear are the things Sybille and Delphine tell. They count on the fact that the royal family will not react and when Alberts lawyer talked to the press they were unhappy of course.
