He would have liked to mingle with the crowd for the live show of the renowned carnival of Binche, a town south of Brussels in the province of Hainaut, with the other spectators, tells the newspaper "Le Soir" but due to royal protocol which requires royals to be on the balcony of the town hall that Prince Laurent and his wife Princess Claire, their daughter 12 year old Princess Louise, and their twin 10-year  princes Aymeric and Nicolas attended the procession and the final rondo, trying to learn a few dance steps and catch the oranges that were launched.

Arrived around 4 p.m all five were welcomed by the deputy mayor and the various key characters of the event. "Gilles, peasants, harlequins and clowns came dancing in the hall of the City Hall's council, each with their customs in their turn under the watchful eye of members of the royal family," explains the Belgian media before reporting about one of the organizers: "It was a very friendly royal visit. They really want to learn about the traditions binchoises, especially for children. Many questions that Mr. and Mrs. All-the-World could arise. "
