The new Princess of Belgium does not rule out using her last name for charity

Brussels (Belgium), 5 Oct (EFE), (Camera: Leo Rodriguez).- Belgian artist Delphine Boël, born of an extramarital relationship with King Albert II and who since last Thursday was officially designated as Princess of Belgium, was willing this Monday to use the surname of her father, from Saxony-Coburg-Gotha, for charitable purposes. FOOTAGE FROM THE PRESS CONFERENCE IN BRUSSELS (BELGIUM) OF THE BELGIAN ARTIST DELPHINE BÖEL, BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER OF KING EMERITUS ALBERT II, AND SOUNDBITES IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH OF THE ARTIST Delphine Böel, Belgian artist and biological daughter of the King Emeritus Albert II 1.- "I will continue as before, I will continue my artistic profession. The difference is how I feel inside. When justice gave me the reason, it really relieved me because it means that all these years were not crazy, it was for good values, for the right reasons and the reason was given to me. I will be the same, but inside I will feel much better, much happier, much freer, and for my children too."2- "The hardest thing has been, perhaps, waiting. It's like being on a battlefield all the time, it's like being in a war a little bit. For me to go to court to be recognized by my own blood and my father has been something very unnatural and I consider myself a fairly natural person. I think it's a kind of unnatural life that I was living, that was very painful."3.- "They tried to write to him often but I told them they would not get an answer. I'm not going to tell them to write to him, I don't want them to be disappointed. We continue with our life and to grow together. In the future we will see what happens."4 .- "If you invite me in a kind way and welcoming me I would be delighted. But it would have to be because they want to, not because they have to."
