King Alberts lawyer, Mr. Alain Berenboom told the press today that the king does not intend to come to the hearings about the paternity of Delphine Boël, which will start next week.
The lawyer says that the king has the same rights as any other citizen and that he will be represented by his lawyer. He added that the king did not wish to be confronted with Boël.
For the Delphine Affair nothing will happen when King Albert II is still alive.
