Danneels said he was contacted long ago by the manager of Wendy van Wanten, to make agreements for an interview in which the singer would make a revelation about her son. “But that was canceled at the last minute,” he says.
Danneels thinks that paternity has been hidden for a long time because tensions had risen about it within the palace. “A courtier once entrusted to me that high -ranging arguments have been fed between Laurent and Albert,” he says. “Although this news does not have the impact of the unveiling that Delphine is the daughter of Albert. Laurent was not yet married to Claire at the time of birth.”
