It took a DNA test but Delphine Boel, an artist, has proven that her mother Baroness Sybille de Selys Longchamps and King Albert II of Belgium are her parents.
EXCERPT: Ms. Boel, 51, is a Belgian visual artist who has claimed for years that she was conceived during an affair in the 1960's between her mother, Baroness Sybille de Delys Longchamps, and Albert, who was then a prince and married to Paola Ruffo di Calabria, an Italian princess. Prince Albert and his wife already had three children.
Rumors of an illegitimate child were first alluded to in a 1999 book about Queen Paola by a journalist, Mario Danneels, and Ms. Boel made her first public claim that King Albert was her father in a 2005 interview.
