"And I understand, so he's doing these things, and everybody's bullying him, but not thinking about his trauma. And I just find it terrible because he's just been kind of left."
Princess Delphine gained her royal title following lengthy legal battles to establish her identity as the daughter of Belgium's former King Albert II.
She is the product of an extramarital relationship between the then-monarch and her mother, which lasted nearly two decades.
