Prince William has been dealing with a minor but curious issue since moving to Forest Lodge. It turns out that Windsor Great Park, where his new home, which he calls his “forever home,” is located, has a clear rule regarding electric scooters: they are prohibited.
The regulations cite safety and traffic management as the reasons. And of course, he, who loved riding his e-scooter around the castle grounds, now has to leave it parked.
A close source said that William used to ride his scooter without any issues at his previous residence, Adelaide Cottage, because there were no restrictions. In fact, he bought one in 2023 to make it easier to visit King Charles.
He even appeared in the AppleTV+ series “The Reluctant Traveller,” arriving on a scooter before Eugene Levy, who asked him if it was his usual mode of transportation. “On the grounds,” William confirmed.
When Levy admitted he had never ridden one because he has “a very low threshold for adventure,” William responded casually, “It gets around nicely, it’s quite fun.”
The Wales family left Adelaide Cottage last year, seeking a fresh start after a difficult period. Forest Lodge, a Grade II listed building, represents an attempt to start from scratch.
But with the new home came new rules. According to sources, William is more than willing to follow the park rules, even if it means giving up his favorite scooter ride.
