Affected by the coronavirus, Princess Delphine, in a recent interview, confessed to “being very worried about the decision made and having thought about it a lot. I feel weak, without strength, perhaps even late on training and rehearsals. I do not hide – she added – of being terrified just at the thought of having to dance on TV “. A participation, according to the former Mrs. Boel, the proceeds of which will go to a noble cause, in support of the Make a Wish Foundation, an association that aims to concretely fulfill the wishes of sick children. No comment from the current ruler Philip brother of Delphine on his participation in ‘Danse avec les stars’. It seems that the announcement at the Palazzo came just a week ago. Belgians wrinkle their noses. And already someone comments: “fatuous and worldly participation, which is not suitable for a member of the royal family”.
