A WOMAN who says she is the unrecognized daughter of Belgian King Albert II has summoned the monarch and two of his children to appear in a Brussels court in her bid to prove he is her father, her lawyer said yesterday.
Delphine Boel, a 45-year-old artist, has repeatedly stated she is the daughter of the king and has used this theme in some of her work.
First reports about Boel's claims appeared in the Belgian media in the late 1990s.
The king has never made any official statement on the subject.
Boel's lawyer, Alain De Jonge, confirmed his client had launched the legal action.
The palace confirmed the king, Crown Prince Philippe and Princess Astrid had received a summons to appear in court but gave no further comment. There was no summons for the king's other son, Laurent.
According to Belgian law, the king cannot be compelled to appear in court although his children could be forced to testify.
