Prince William was spotted speeding around Windsor Castle on an electric scooter.
The video, shared on social media, appeared to show the eco-friendly Prince of Wales, 42, zooming around the royal residence in Berkshire on July 4.
Dressed in a blue jumper with a white shirt and black trousers, the future King looked cool in a pair of sunglasses.
It was first reported in July 2023 that the father-of-three had invested in an electric scooter to zip around the Windsor estate.

He purchased the vehicle to speed up the three-mile round trip from the Wales family’s Adelaide Cottage to see his father King Charles at Windsor Castle.
The prince is a known environment lover, launching The Earthshot Prize in 2020 to help curb climate change.
William has now opted for a green transport option with the 10mph scooter to travel around the 655-acre estate.
A source told The Sun: “It just makes sense. He whizzes up to the castle when he needs to see the King.
“It’s a two or three-mile round trip from his family home at Adelaide Cottage to Windsor Castle so it’s easier by scooter than car or walking.”
The make and model of the scooter are not yet known.
Prince William loves motorbikes, having once owned a £20,000 Ducati bike, which can go from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds.
He even rode it the night before his wedding to Princess Kate in 2011.

However, the Princess of Wales once admitted it “filled her with horror” whenever he travelled via the vehicle.
The father-of-three has appeared to take a step back from his hobby in recent years.
However, the electric scooter seems to have provided the prince with a new way of travelling, and it also reduces his carbon footprint.
Currently in the UK electric scooters can only be used on private land with the landowner’s permission. It is illegal to ride them on public roads, unless they are part of a hire scheme.
