šŸŽ‰ C'est une fille : le roi Albert II reconnaĆ®t enfin que Delphine BoĆ«l est sa fille

AprĆØs des annĆ©es de bataille juridique Ć  ce sujet, le roi Albert II de Belgique, qui a abdiquĆ© en 2013, a reconnu aujourd'hui ĆŖtre le pĆØre biologique de Delphine Boel. Un communiquĆ© du roi a Ć©tĆ© publiĆ© ce soir par l'intermĆ©diaire de son avocat, Alain Berenboom. Le communiquĆ© est le suivant :

Sa MajestĆ© le Roi Albert II a pris connaissance des rĆ©sultats du test ADN auquel il a collaborĆ© Ć  la demande de la cour d'appel de Bruxelles. Les conclusions scientifiques dĆ©montrent qu'il est le pĆØre biologique de Madame Delphine BoĆ«l. 

MĆŖme s'il existe des arguments et des objections juridiques pour justifier que la paternitĆ© lĆ©gale ne signifie pas nĆ©cessairement la paternitĆ© biologique, et que la procĆ©dure utilisĆ©e lui semble discutable, le roi Albert a dĆ©cidĆ© de ne pas utiliser ces arguments et de mettre fin avec honneur et dignitĆ© Ć  cette douloureuse procĆ©dure. 

Le roi Albert insiste sur le fait que depuis la naissance de Madame Delphine BoĆ«l, il n'a Ć©tĆ© impliquĆ© dans aucune dĆ©cision familiale, sociale ou Ć©ducative concernant Madame Delphine BoĆ«l, et qu'il a toujours respectĆ© le lien qui existait entre Madame Delphine BoĆ«l et son pĆØre lĆ©gal.

Alain De Jonge, l'avocat de Delphine BoĆ«l, s'est exprimĆ© briĆØvement aprĆØs avoir appris l'aveu inattendu de paternitĆ© du roi : Ā« Nous nous abstiendrons de tout commentaire pour le moment. Ā»

Depuis la fin des annĆ©es 1990, Delphine BoĆ«l a cherchĆ©, par des voies privĆ©es et publiques, Ć  faire reconnaĆ®tre par le roi Albert II quā€™il est son pĆØre biologique. Pendant prĆØs de vingt ans, le roi a obstinĆ©ment refusĆ© dā€™assumer la moindre responsabilitĆ© de ses actes. On ne sait pas exactement pourquoi lā€™ancienne souveraine de 85 ans a pris cette dĆ©cision aujourdā€™hui. Cependant, dans une interview que lā€™avocat du roi, Me Berenboom, a accordĆ©e aujourdā€™hui, il a dĆ©clarĆ© : Ā« Le roi ne contestera plus juridiquement quā€™il soit son pĆØre lĆ©gal. Nous avons pris connaissance des rĆ©sultats du test ADN. Il montre que par ADN, le roi Albert est Ć  99,99 % probablement le pĆØre biologique de Delphine BoĆ«l. Le roi traitera ses enfants de maniĆØre Ć©gale. Il inclura BoĆ«l dans son testament au mĆŖme titre que ses autres enfants. Le roi Albert a donc dĆ©sormais quatre enfants. Ā»

Sybille de Selys Longchamps avec sa fille Delphine.

Jonkvrouw Delphine MichĆØle Anne Marie Ghislaine BoĆ«l was born on 22 February 1968 at Brussels. Her parents are Albert (b.1934), then Prince of LiĆØge and later King of Belgium, and Baroness Sybille de Selys Longchamps (b.1941). At the time of Delphineā€™s birth, both of her parents were married to other people. Albert of Belgium had married Donna Paola Ruffo di Calabria (b.1937) in 1959; Sybille de Selys Longchamps had married Jonkheer Jacques BoĆ«l in 1962. At the time of Delphineā€™s birth, her father already had three children with his wife, but her mother had no children with her husband.

Albert and Sybille began their relationship in the Summer of 1966: they met in Greece, where her father was the Belgian ambassador. By this point, both parties were in marriages that had soured. In the 2013 documentary Our Daughter Is Called Delphine, Sybille stated: ā€œFrom the start I felt that we were not indifferent to each other. Months later I was invited to a dinner. I was seated next to Albert. I immediately realised this was done on purpose. Paola was furious. She butted him with her elbow once or twice. At that point I realised he had feelings for me.ā€ A romance developed, and Albertā€™s brother King Baudouin pressured Sybilleā€™s father to get the couple to end their relationship. However, Sybille was already pregnant with Albertā€™s child: ā€œI thought I could not have children because I had had an infection. We had not taken any precautions.ā€ Albert sent Sybille flowers when he learned that she had given birth to their daughter.

Sybille and Delphine
In the early 1980s, Albert and Sybille ended their relationship. Albert, who became King of the Belgians in 1993, and Paola healed the issues in their marriage. Sybille divorced Jacques BoĆ«l in 1978, and remarried in 1982 to the Honourable Michael Anthony Rathborne Cayzer, a son of the 1st Baron Rotherwick. Sybille became a widow when Anthony died in 1990.

For many years, Delphine BoĆ«l has been in a relationship with James Oā€™Hare. The couple have two children: JosĆ©phine (b.2003) and Oscar (b.2008). One might surmise that Delphine named her children after her paternal great-great-great-grandparents, King Oscar I of Sweden and Norway and his wife JosĆ©phine (nĆ©e Duchess von Leuchtenberg).

Through her father Albert, Delphineā€™s ancestry is Gotha through and through. Through her mother Sybille, Delphineā€™s roots are heavily grounded in the Belgian aristocracy. However, her maternal family offers a surprising American connection: Delphineā€™s great-great-great-grandfather was James McMillan (Hamilton, Ontario 12 May 1838 ā€“ Manchester, Massachusetts 10 August 1902), who served as a United States Senator from the State of Michigan from 1889 until 1902.
