Sir Salvador and Lady Moncada , born Princess of Belgium never wanted tittles for their Children Alexandra and Leopoldo.
Thanks for the article and the dotation quote. I wonder if the denial she was seeking one will stay as strong as it was a few weeks ago. Now she can justify it to the world by claiming she is not doing it out of greed but because she is a warrior for equality.
I am equally puzzled about her complaint about being a victim of modernisations. If anybody with a title anywhere benifited from exactly that it would be her.
A pity she can't seem to be happy with what she gained but simply needs to continue fighting for the sake of it.
The event she is moaning about is organised by the government and they seem to invite all the royals who receive an official allowance and carry out official events. It is really that simple.
That decision is made by others.
So why should the “child”- young or mature- have to suffer the consequences, the opprobrium, the diminishment of status, the relegation to the back of the family bus? It smacks of ‘otherness’, of second rate status. She is the daughter of a king- why should she not be treated as one?
Invite her to all family events; let her enter and depart from the same doors/gates as her brother and sister; let her receive the respect that her status should entitle her to. I doubt that these decisions have been made by King Philippe, but he could make it happen.
And for those who argue ‘tradition’, the tradition has been to diminish the out of wedlock child, and to continue to honor those who created her in that status. What difference does it make if she has equal treatment?

The BRF should not now be compelled to shoehorn her into any and all family events just because some judges and politicians decided to stick it to Albert II and the monarchy by providing HRH to Delphine and her children.
