This is the moment Prince William is apparently seen riding around Windsor Castle on an electric scooter.
The clip shared on social media appeared to show the eco-friendly Prince of Wales, 42, touring the royal residence in Berkshire on July 4.
Dressed in a blue jumper with a white shirt underneath and black trousers, the future King looked relaxed and elegant with a stylish pair of sunglasses.
In July 2023, it was first reported that the father of three had invested in an electric scooter to get around the Windsor estate.
She made the purchase to speed up the three-mile round trip from the Wales family’s country home of Adelaide Cottage to see her father, King Charles, at Windsor Castle, according to reports.
This is the moment Prince William is apparently seen riding around Windsor Castle on an electric scooter.
The prince is a well-known environmentalist and in 2020 launched the Earthshot Prize for environmental innovators to help curb climate change.
And now he is said to have opted for an eco-friendly transport option with a 10mph scooter to get around the 655-acre property.
A source said Sun: “It makes sense. He arrives quickly at the castle when he needs to see the king.
‘It’s a two or three mile round trip from her family home at Adelaide Cottage to Windsor Castle, so it’s easier by scooter than by car or on foot.’
The make and model of the scooter are not yet known.
The royal is a keen motorbike enthusiast. He once owned a £20,000 Ducati that can go from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds. He even rode it the night before his wedding to Kate in 2011.
However, the Princess of Wales once admitted that it “filled her with horror” whenever he did it and William appears to have taken a step back from his hobby in recent years.
But it appears to have found a new way to get around, and this time it has sought to reduce its carbon footprint.

Prince William is also a motorcycle enthusiast, but seems to have given up on this hobby in recent years. Pictured: A cheerful Prince William tries out a motorbike in 2018
Currently in the UK, electric scooters can only be used on private land with the owner’s permission.
It is illegal to drive on public roads, unless they are part of a rental system.
MailOnline has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.
Meanwhile, William is due to fly to Germany to watch England take on Switzerland tomorrow in the decisive quarter-final of the Three Lions’ Euro Cup.
The match, which takes place in Dusseldorf at 17:00 CET, will be manager Gareth Southgate’s 100th game in charge, making him only the third man to reach the milestone.
This comes after the Prince of Wales was seen at England’s group stage match against Denmark last month, which ended in a 1-1 draw after an early goal scored by captain Harry Kane.
Prince William, who is also president of the FA, was incredibly animated throughout the Euro clash on June 20, including when he jumped out of his seat and applauded after the opening goal in the 18th minute.
But by the end of the match, William, like most of the nation, had his hands on his face after an unconvincing performance that allowed England to draw 1-1 thanks to a wonder goal from Danish midfielder Morten Hjulmand.
England’s tepid performance that day was followed by two further disappointing games, including a 0-0 draw in the final group game against Slovenia and a 2-1 win over Slovakia in the last 16.
Despite his lackluster performance, the prince showed his sportsmanship by shaking hands with Denmark’s King Frederick X after the final whistle, with both countries still on course to advance in the tournament.
William is a passionate Aston Villa fan and presented shirts to the England men’s team before the team left for Germany, making a surprise visit to St George’s Park, England’s national football centre in Burton upon Trent.
