As has now become known, Carl Philip of Sweden does not always take the speed limits very seriously. The Royal was caught at significantly excessive speed.
Stockholm – Prince Carl Philip (42) has been a passionate racing driver for years. Apparently, the son of King Carl XVI. Gustaf (75) and Queen Silvia (78) not only put their foot down on the racetrack, but also on Sweden’s roads*.
Prince Carl Philip caught racing: Juicy ticket for the royal
Petrol is literally in the blood of the Swedish royals. King Carl XVI Gustaf* has always had a fondness for fast cars and apparently passed this on to his son Carl Philip. The prince drives races himself and celebrated some successes in motor sports under his real name Carl Philip Bernadotte. Just last year, the Royal took part in the Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia. The 42-year-old is already introducing his three sons Alexander* (5), Gabriel (4) and Julian (11 months) to his great passion. The boys were allowed to visit their dad along with their mother Sofia (37) on the racetrack in Mantorp* and take a look at the pit lane.
As recently became known, Carl Philip also likes to be on the road at high speed in normal traffic and doesn’t always take speed limits very seriously.
Prince Carl Philip caught racing: The palace has confirmed the incident
As reported by “Aftonbladet”, Prince Carl Philip* was flashed on the speedometer at almost 20 km/h last December. Instead of the permitted 70 kilometers per hour, he thundered through a tunnel in Stockholm at 89 km/h. His royal status did not protect him from the punishment, the royal received a juicy ticket in the mailbox. The Swedish royal family * has now officially confirmed the incident. The ticket has already been paid for, it said.
It is not known how deeply Carl Philip had to dig into his pockets. However, Sweden has very strict penalties for speeding. According to “Mobilitätsmagazin”, anyone who is up to 10 km/h too fast must expect a fine of 150 euros. *24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
