It is a beige hat with a red ribbon, which Delphine has combined with a red dress and beige heels. “I don’t know this designer,” the princess said in a video posted on Twitter. Someone in the room explains that the hat comes from Huisman, who has just started a new brand. All Flemish girls, but also boys, know her, says another. “K3, huh?” Delphine responds. “I thought, perfect.”

Other images that appeared later of the holiday show that the princess is busy chatting with Princess Claire of Belgium. The two princesses sit side by side on a high red stand. King Philippe and Queen Mathilde will also be present on Thursday. They arrived a little later and took place in another stand.
Delphine learned at the age of 17 that former King Albert, whom she then knew as a close friend of her mother, is her biological father. For years she fought a legal battle for recognition, but King Philippe’s father denied that he was her biological father until early 2020. DNA proved his claim to be false. Delphine was given the title Princess of Belgium and the new surname Van Saksen-Coburg.
