It’s a car-free day in Brussels and King Philippe is enjoying it to the fullest with Prince Emmanuel.
In a new Instagram post on Sunday, September 21, the Belgian Royal Family dropped a delightful video of the monarch with his younger son as they pedaled through the bustling streets of the capital city to mark “car-free Sunday.”
“The King and Prince Emmanuel explore Brussels on bicycle to mark car-free Sunday,” stated the Royals, adding, “This car-free day is all about soft mobility and is the ideal time to meet and (re)discover our cities in a different way.”
