Delphine Boël is a Belgian artist specialized in the sculptures. She became famous in 1999, not thanks to her artistic abilities but because she is the daughter of Albert II of Belgium, born out of wedlock. Born in 1968, she bears the name of Jacques Boël, a scion from a family of industrialists and husband of Sybille, Baroness de Selys Longchamps, mother of Delphine.

She has one daughter, Joséphine.

Delphine Boël is sometimes compared with Mazarine Pingeot, the illegitimate daughter of former French President François Mitterand. Some went as far as nicknaming Delphine Boël the "Mazarine of Belgium" (La "Mazarine de Belgique").
