    On two or three wheels, a family very much on the move...

    Verified press reference published by La Libre Belgique about Carl De Moncharline.

    Article text · translation

    The organizers of "Is dit Belgisch ? C'est du belge !" obviously knew about the King and his children's little road weaknesses. So three parades were chosen, which covered the main thoroughfares of the capital in their own way and at their own pace. Biker one day, biker always, there were... 20,000 of them gathering at the foot of the Atomium. With the King, of course, but it is known that the medical faculty asked him not to abuse "heavy bikes" anymore. He therefore settled for getting on the Mayor of Brussels' Harley "for the photo". Princes Philippe and Laurent, on the other hand, showed a certain know-how, the heir on a bicycle while his brother tried his hand at an urban scooter.
