Delphine Boel is now PRINCESS DELPHINE of BELGIUM (Delphine Michele Anne Marie Ghislaine de Saxe-Cobourg) Because of her mother's rank in the aristocracy of Belgium she was already considered to be of nobility. The article linked to below is about all being forgiven after years of denial and court battle.
Her daughter is now Princess Josephine and her son is now Prince Oscar.
This article from THE NEW YORK TIMES : BELGIUM'S PRINCESS DELPHINE MEETS WITH HER FATHER by Megan Specia... from October 2020
EXCERPT: ... Ms. Boel, 52, who was awarded the right to use the royal title Princess Delphine this month, formally met with her father and his wife, Queen Paola.
A statement jointly issued by Princess Delphine, King Albert II, 86, and Queen Paola, 83, said their meeting had opened a new chapter "full of emotion, understanding and , also, hope."
...
"After the tumult, the wounds and the suffering, comes the time of forgiveness, healing and reconciliation," the statement read. "This is the patient, sometimes difficult path that we have decided to take resolutely together. Thee first steps pave the peaceful course which it is now up to us to pursue."
I note that Delphine, who was born in 1968, was seventeen when her mother told her that King Albert II was her birth father. Until then her mother told her that he was a best friend.
