No, it's unnatural to say that. You would say:
"She told everyone she had a boyfriend" or
"She said she had a boyfriend".
More formally, you could say, "She announced she had a boyfriend"
A possibility also is "She admitted she had a boyfriend", but the meaning is different here. Here you are saying she was keeping her boyfriend a secret, but someone found out and she was forced to say she had a boyfriend.

Sure. It is fine.
A declaration is a statement, usually of some importance.
.
So, by saying "declared" you are saying that she said it as if it was a greeat event, or important.
As such, this is something that teens could easily do.
.
told everyone - mild
Announced - more impressive a statement
declared - usually even more of a statement

I think it's okay to say so if she were a princess

Announced can be used in place of declared
