Belgium’s Queen Paola has been filmed for a documentary which will chart her life and touch on the problems she experienced in her long marriage to King Albert II.
The programme will be the first time that Paola, now 83, has spoken at length in public since her husband admitted he had had a child with another woman. His natural daughter was granted the title of Princess Delphine in 2020.
Plans for the documentary came to light after a grant of 15,000 euros was revealed in documents belonging to the Brussels Screen Film Fund. Further investigation by Nieuwsblad confirmed that all the interviews for the programme have been completed.
