We mentioned it a few weeks ago, Queen Paola took stock of her life in an exclusive interview with Paris Match magazine and in a documentary broadcast on RTBF. She talks regarding her relationship problems and the fact that she was not happy for ten years, from 1970 to 1980: “I didn’t know where to go. There was this danger of divorce at that time. I took a distance from everything for ten years. I was very unhappy and very sad”.
More surprisingly, the Queen also mentioned an extra-marital relationship she had on her side and a snapshot that appeared at the time which “shocked all of Belgium”. Faced with a photo of her and a mysterious man she was photographed with walking arm in arm on a beach in Sardinia, the Queen details: “There, it is a somewhat selfish adventure (…). But deep down, I don’t regret anything. I was not happy. For ten years, I was absolutely not happy at all”.
Until King Albert reveals to him“I’ve always loved you”.
Of the identity of the secret lover, nothing will be revealed, details the site 7sur7 by revealing the unpublished photo.
