This is a mishap that was not expected by the Belgian royal family. According to information released by the media Sudinfo, Monday, November 29, 2021, Princess Astrid of Belgium was flashed by the authorities.
From what we can discover, Princess Astrid of Belgium was flashed on the A3 motorway near the town of Awans (province of Liège) in the direction of Brussels, in the afternoon of October 24, 2021. The vehicle registered in his name – a Mercedes – was flashed at 120 km / h on a road where the speed is limited to only 90 km / h. Not enjoying diplomatic immunity, the wife of Lorenz of Austria-Este will therefore have to pay a fine of 125 euros, if she was indeed driving her vehicle. If this is not the case, it can then challenge this speeding.
However, this unfortunate mishap is not the latest for the one who is fifth in the order of succession to the throne. Last September, the 59-year-old princess was injured as a result of physical activity. And as the site specializing in crowned heads had indicated, Royal Central, “Princess Astrid has fractured several vertebrae while she was exercising“. An accident occurred”during a sporting activity in a private sphere“, underlined the royal palace in a press release. Therefore, the latter had been sentenced to forced rest.
Expected in the United States a few days later – where she was to represent her father, Albert II of Belgium – the sister of the current sovereign unfortunately had to cancel her visit. “As a result of this incident, Princess Astrid’s agenda had to be suspended indefinitely, it depends on her recovery.“, added the site.
