Wed 09/04/08 - Nine years after being revealed as the out-of-wedlock daughter of the Belgian king, Delphine Boël, 40, says she no longer craves her father's acknowledgment that she is his daughter.
In a book published this week entitled "Cutting The Umbilical Cord" Delphine Boël says she "no longer obsesses" about the fact King Albert II has yet to accept her as his daughter.
