It would have been different when the King fathered a child with a poor laundry maid and left mother and child in miserable circumstances. Here it is not clear at all if the King actually is Delphine's father or not. In any way, as a daughter of Jonkheer Jacques Boël, a rich man, she was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, as is the Dutch saying.
Even the divorce of her parents did not cause a fall in wealth, since Baronesse Sybille married for the second time and now with a very rich British aristocrat (the Honorable Michael-Anthony Rathmore Cayzer) and went -for an example- to the ultra-chique Collège le Rosey in Switzerland. (Her father also remarried "well" with the Baronesse Diane de Woot de Trixhe de Jannée). From A to Z the girl was surrounded by well-to-do circumstances, blue blood, a fine milieu.
No, if Delphine ever wanted a formal recognition of King Albert's fatherhood, then she has walked the most impossible way by going all-out public.
