O future King wore a white shirt under a blue sweater that he paired with black pants paired with a pair of sunglasses.
Electric scooter sales have soared in recent years.
It is illegal to drive on public roads – unless it is part of an approved rental scheme – but they can be used on private land, as Wills does.
The sun broke the News William purchased an electric scooter in July 2023.
A source said at the time: “It makes sense. He goes to the castle when he needs to see the king.
The source added: “It’s a three or three mile round trip from his family home at Adelaide Cottage to Windsor Castle, so it’s easier by scooter than by car or on foot.”
The 655-acre estate also includes a golf course, Frogmore House and the former Sussex home, Frogmore Cottage.
The make and model of the scooter are not known.
They can cost up to £6,000.
The future king spoke about his passion for motorbikes and riding one in London on the eve of his wedding in 2011.
In 2008, he and his brother Harry held a charity motorcycle rally across South Africa.
But Wills has since put the hobby on the back burner.
At the 2018 Isle of Man TT races, he said: “I’m a father of three. I have to tone it down. I miss the big trips, for me cycling has always been about being with everyone.”
Wills riding his e-scooter comes after the father was seen at Wembley Stadium to celebrate his 42nd birthday with children Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, nine, as they watched Taylor Swift perform.
The royal trio also posed for selfies with Swift herself and her football player boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
William previously shared the stage with Swift at Kensington Palace in 2013 to perform Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer for a charity event.
The future king was seen busting out his best dance moves on the show as he joined in on the song.
Fellow royals Zara and Mike Tindall were also spotted on the show.
Prince William is a pillar of strength for Kate Middleton
EXPERT analysis from author and real expert, Ingrid Seward.
Steadfast when his family needed him, William proved himself to be a man and future monarch of strength and compassion.
While he may not have been present during Kate’s courageous video speech — make no mistake, he was by her side every step of the way.
William stepped up with schoolwork and provided a “great source of comfort and security” for his wife.
But he has also been a comforting, reassuring presence for audiences.
From leading members of the Royal Family in the Commonwealth Day Service to enjoying lighthearted banter with young people on a visit to a youth center, he didn’t put a foot wrong.
Still, there were few flaws in his façade – but Kate was clearly on his mind.
“She needs to be sitting here to hear this,” he smiled when the discussion turned to the challenges of young families.
But ultimately, he is only human.
Having your father and wife diagnosed with cancer in such quick succession is heartbreaking.
It is a remarkable insight into this young man’s character that he was so incredibly brave.
Theirs is a very private turmoil, which has been brought into the public arena by the nature of their roles as future King and Queen.
William must feel the weight of an enormous responsibility, both personally and to the monarchy, of which he is now the public face.
But he knows his most important role is as a father and husband.
He will make this his priority.
This is a distinct difference from the customs of the past, where your royal role came before the role of spouse and parent.
Think back to when the queen was young.
William’s priority is his family
Back then, it was a man’s world – and she was forced to abandon her children in a way that William is determined not to do.
William and Kate waited until the school term was over and their children were home before making the public announcement.
They needed to be prepared.
In this, they will have the unconditional support of Charles – who knows what it’s like to be raised by nannies.
William was also acutely aware of his father’s lack of presence in his life, especially when things went wrong.
In 1991, he was accidentally hit in the head with a golf club when he was at school and Diana was having lunch at her favorite restaurant, San Lorenzo.
The call came that William had been hit in the head and they thought he might die, so it was very serious.
Charles and Diana rushed to Ludgrove.
William was taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital and then to Great Ormond Street Hospital and Diana went with him.
But always a man of duty, Charles prioritized his commitments.
William is determined to do things differently.
We last saw Kate, 42, at Trooping the Color on June 15, where she rode in a carriage with her children and appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with the royal family.
Both King Charles and Princess Kate are undergoing cancer treatment, and heartwarming images show them shoulder to shoulder in front of the crowd.
In a personally written statement released on June 14, Princess Kate said she was making “good progress,” explaining that there are “good days and bad days.”
She wrote that her treatment will be “ongoing and will last a few more months” and that she is “not out of the woods yet.”
Kate added: “I’m learning to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”
She also thanked the audience, saying, “Thank you so much for your continued understanding and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.”
