Notes:
Only Sekai Tsutsuji Center claims this is a sport of ‘Albert-Elisabeth’, presumably through ‘Armand Haerens’. Western sources lack this knowledge and claim ‘Armand Haerens’ has unknown parentage and do not link ‘Leopold-Astrid’ to ‘Albert-Elisabeth’. All western sources only mention that ‘Leopold-Astrid’ is a sport of ‘Armand Haerens’, with no mention of ‘Albert-Elisabeth’.
