Accordingly, he arranged a DNA test which showed that he is not Delphines father.The results will be submitted this week to the court where Delphine Boel launched proceedings last year in an effort to prove that Albert II is her real father.Delphine Boel bears a distinct likeness to Albert II but he has consistently refused to acknowledge her as his daughter.He enjoyed legal immunity when on the throne but after his abdication in July 2013, this lapsed, opening the way for Delphine Boel to begin proceedings in court.Jacques Boels lawyer Baum was quoted as saying that his client no longer opposed Delphine Boels challenge to his paternity.Her mother is Baroness Sybille de Selys Longchamps who, according to a 1999 book, had an affair with Albert in the 1960s before he became king.]]>
