On October 17, 2020, Princess Delphine inaugurated one of her new artworks, 'Ageless Love' at the Gerdapark in the city of Sint-Niklaas. ‘Ageless Love’ is a monumental sculpture by Delphine van Saxe-Coburg. The inauguration was the Princess of Belgium’s first public appearance since she got her new title.
The work is made of steel, which is symbolic, and the artist describes it as the following: "It’s hard to break, just like love. And just like love, it also ages beautifully, it acquires a beautiful patina, just like people get wrinkles.". According to Dirk Van Den Broeck of 'Kunst in de Stad', the sculpture ‘conveys a loving message to vulnerable people, care providers, carers, family members, friends and local residents’. "It's the right image, in the right place."
When asked about the recent rapprochement with the royal family, Princess Delphine answered evasively. She had read that her biological father, King Albert II, wished her the best, she said. She called the meeting with her brother King Philippe heartwarming. "Little by little I feel accepted," she added. "I feel loved and things are going in the right direction. I hope for more."
