Why hasn't anyone told me that Italian princesses who like riding motorcycles are a thing before? Seriously, Italy’s Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon is a proper gearhead. She rides Harleys, is into F1, and if you check out her Instagram account, you'll see she even likes supercar-shaped PWCs.
But even royalty has to accept the same risks as we do when throwing a leg over.
The princess crashed her Harley-Davidson into a wall, which sent her into the ICU and a coma. In a message to her 170,000 Instagram followers, she wrote, “I’m incredibly lucky to be alive. I crashed headfirst into a wall whilst riding a motorcycle and ended up in [a coma] in the Intensive Care Unit. Surviving this was nothing short of a miracle.”
