Prince William has been forced to stop using his e-scooter since relocating to Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park last autumn.
The home is set deep within the 4,800-acre estate, where officials enforce a strict ban on “all forms of motorised transport” to maintain safety and manage traffic.
According to The Sun, the 43-year-old heir to the throne is no longer permitted to ride his electric scooter anywhere within the estate since moving there with the Princess of Wales and their children.
A change from their former home
The rule represents a noticeable shift from the family’s previous living arrangements.
They had been based at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Castle Estate, where e-scooters are allowed.
During that time, the Prince was frequently seen cruising around the grounds on his scooter and became a familiar figure to local residents.
In 2023, a visitor even captured footage of him riding along the estate’s gravel paths.
A memorable on-screen moment
Last year, William famously arrived on his scooter to welcome actor Eugene Levy while filming an episode of Apple TV+’s The Reluctant Traveller.
