BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgium's King Philippe has met his half-sister Delphine for the first time after she won a years-long legal battle to prove that they have the same father, earning recognition as a princess.

The two met last Friday at the palace in the Brussels suburb of Laeken, the royal household said on Thursday.
