Will Prohibited from Riding E-Scooter at Windsor Great Park Home
Prince William faces restrictions on his e-scooter usage following his recent move to Windsor Great Park. The 43-year-old royal now resides in Forest Lodge with Kate Middleton and their children, where e-scooter riding is prohibited.
Windsor Great Park Regulations
Windsor Great Park spans 4,800 acres and enforces strict regulations against all motorized vehicles. These rules aim to ensure safety and manage traffic within the area.
- Location: Windsor Great Park
- Size: 4,800 acres
- Motorized Transport Ban: Enforced for safety and traffic management
Prior to moving, the family lived at Adelaide Cottage, located about four miles north within the Windsor Castle Estate. Here, e-scooter use was permitted, allowing William to commute frequently on his device during his three-year stay.
Royal Commuting Preferences
During his time at the castle, William was often seen riding his e-scooter at speeds up to 10 mph. An insider mentioned his fondness for this mode of transport, indicating he was accustomed to using it without restrictions. However, he is prepared to comply with the current rules.
His affinity for e-scooters drew attention over the summer of 2023, when he was spotted riding through the park. A memorable moment occurred when he arrived at Windsor Castle for a meeting with actor Eugene Levy, filmed as part of Levy’s Apple TV+ docuseries, “The Reluctant Traveller.” During this encounter, William humorously noted the practical nature of his e-scooter for keeping appointments, despite facing delays.
Potential Exceptions and Consequences
While the ban is firm, reports suggest residents of Windsor Great Park can still use e-scooters on roads near their homes. However, areas like The Long Walk—a 2.5-mile tree-lined avenue leading to Windsor Castle—remain off-limits for any e-scooter activity.
Violating these rules could result in fines and penalties, including points on one’s driving record and potential confiscation of the e-scooter by authorities.
It remains clear that Prince William will adhere to these regulations while finding alternative means to navigate Windsor Great Park.
