Prince Charles-Antoine Marie Louis Eugène Lamoral of Ligne-La Trémoïlle (born 30 September 1946) is a Belgian French aristocrat and businessman, member of one of the most prestigious families of the Belgian nobility, the House of Ligne. He co-founded a company, with Christopher Harriman, LAREX Corporation, that promoted high-speed elevated transit and urban development, with environmental enhancement along the 35 miles of riverfront of the Los Angeles River corridor, including a possible high-speed train from San Francisco to San Diego. The train is now under construction beginning in San Diego.
Charles-Antoine was born in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, in 1946. He studied law at the Institut Catholique de Paris and hotel administration and management at Cornell University. He is the son of the late Jean Charles, Prince de Ligne de La Trémoïlle and Maria del Rosario de Lambertye-Gerbéviller.
He is third cousin once removed of Michel, head of the House of Ligne through their shared descent from Eugène, 8th Prince of Ligne. Like all members of the Ligne family, he holds the title of prince in the Belgian nobility and the style of Highness.
