You use the words standing up and fighting back? That implies either falling or being knocked down. Fighting back implies she was purposely knocked down.
I wonder how you get that image of Delphine?
One of the things that i find sad is that i don't see what she gaines by this. As i wrote the title she and her children now have will be temporary and new rules will follow. Probably not in the next few months but in a year or two possibly five they will lead to Delphine and her children loosing what she now got through the court as the rules setting up the titles were not made to include them so that will be corrected.
Do you really think that is a positive outcome for her? You cannot force someone to love you even if they are family. Family bonds are not forced through courts they grow because the people involved want them to.
As this is a Royal message board i also look at the impact of her quest on the institution of the monarchy in Belgium. As the monarchy is one of the very few institutions in that particular country that unites the people im concerned of the negative effects it's had.
In the above post you exemplify my point about society's tendency to ascribe the worst motives to women who stand up and fight back.
Nicholas Klein said "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
What he left out: If that winner is woman she must be a scheming b----, but if it is a man he is cheered as a hero.
