Delphine was never illegitimate. Jacques Boel adopted her as his legal daughter and provided a very well off life for both Delphine and her mother. Delphine never lacked for anything despite she and her mother trying to portray her as the poor little match girl. Her legal father was far wealthier than the Belgian Royal Family. Well, somewhere along the line, something went wrong and Delphine's legal father disowned her and bye bye to any money that may have come from him.
First, she just wanted to be recognized as Albert II's daughter, that did happen and now she wants the "official" perks...and as Hollie mentioned, an allowance from the Govt. paid by the Belgian taxpayers. No.
The PM made it clear, Delphine is a private citizen. If Delphine was given an official role, then there would be something else she would demand, it stops somewhere.
