Princess Delphine's Bold National Day Outfit Sparks Controversy
ROYAL SCANDAL ROCKS BELGIUM: Princess Delphine's Sultry Outfit Sparks Controversy on National Day
In a shocking turn of events, Princess Delphine, the long-lost daughter of King Albert II of Belgium, stole the spotlight yesterday with her daring outfit at the country's National Day celebrations. The 57-year-old princess, born out of wedlock in 1968, chose to wear a red dress featuring a thigh-high split designed by non-binary artist Benjamin Voortmans. While some hailed it as a bold statement of self-expression and freedom, others deemed it "inappropriate" for the patriotic occasion.
The drama began when Delphine posted a sassy Instagram update, proudly showcasing her ensemble and proclaiming that she chose to wear it not only because of its beauty but also because it carries a message of tolerance, open-mindedness, and support for the LGBTQIA+ community. The princess, who has been working tirelessly to promote acceptance and inclusivity, wrote, "I'm deeply affected by bullying and violence against those who don't fit the mould. This outfit stands for difference, freedom, and love. Viva la différence!"
Despite her positive intentions, Delphine's outfit sparked a heated debate among royal fans on X. One critic claimed, "Unfortunate and inappropriate, just to say the least." Another wrote, "Raunchy and inelegant." A third said, "This is not an outfit a princess would wear for a national event." And a fourth exclaimed, "When I saw the photos OMG....it was so inappropriate."
The controversy surrounding Delphine's dress has overshadowed the otherwise joyous celebration of Belgium's National Day. This significant event marks the country's independence from the Netherlands in 1831 and the formal establishment of the Kingdom.
In related news, Princess Delphine has been making waves in recent months with her newfound royal status. After a seven-year legal battle, she was granted recognition as King Albert II's daughter in October 2020. The princess has since become increasingly involved in royal engagements and has even met her brother, King Philippe of Belgium.
Delphine has also spoken out on various social issues, including her support for the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, who has faced intense scrutiny following his departure from the British royal family. In a recent podcast interview with The Scholarly Note's Daniel Rosney, Delphine expressed her sympathy for Harry's circumstances, saying, "I feel very sorry for him... He was traumatised, and it's coming out now."
As the Belgian royal family continues to navigate the complexities of their lives in the public eye, one thing is certain: Princess Delphine's sizzling National Day outfit will be remembered for a long time to come.
