(CNN)The former king of Belgium, Albert II, has submitted a DNA sample in an ongoing paternity suit from a woman who claims to be his daughter.
The retired monarch, 84, has been fighting the paternity claim of Belgian artist Delphine Boel, who launched a lawsuit in 2013 to see the king recognized as her father. Boel claims the king had an affair with her mother, Sibylle de Selys Longchamps, resulting in her birth in 1968.
In May, a Belgian court ordered that Albert II must undergo a DNA test or face a daily fine of €5,000 ($5,600).
