Prince William enjoyed a day out with his dad in Windsor, but his sighting in an electric scooter is blowing minds across the internet. Over the years, the Prince of Wales has championed many causes dear to his heart, which fosters environmental awareness and innovative options to boost sustainability for a greener planet. While he has launched several projects to support his cause like The Earthshot Prize, his lifestyle choices better indicate his genuine interest in combating climate change.
A recent sighting saw Prince William make his way to Windsor Castle, the residence of his father, King Charles in an electric scooter. He made the three-mile round trip from his home in Adelaide Cottage to his dad’s in broad daylight, effortlessly gliding through the serene route.
One netizen who spotted Prince William out on his ride made a video of the sighting, sharing it on social media. In the clip, the Prince, rocking a blue sweater over a collared shirt and black pants rode through the castle grounds focused on the path ahead. Looking cool with his sunglasses on, he glided smoothly past a security guard, turning into the open castle gate. The unconventional mode of transportation enables the prince to cover the 10-minute journey, ensuring a cleaner environment in the process.
Prince William Praised After Scooter Sighting
Several internet users have since praised the future king’s thoughtful yet efficient approach to sustainable transportation. Many lauded Prince William for ditching the car in favor of the scooter in his latest sighting, while still covering the distance timeously. One Reddit user wrote,
“This is probably a more energy efficient way of getting from his house to the castle than driving.”
Another wrote,
“Makes sense. I’m sure it’s quicker and more energy-efficient than using a car or cart. Is it just me, or does he look too tall for the scooter?”
A third commented,
“I absolutely love this.”
Meanwhile, some netizens expressed safety concerns over Prince Williams’ preferred mode of transportation, calling out the Prince for using his scooter without a helmet. This is hardly the first time the prince would step out on his electric scooter. Known for his fondness for the unconventional ride, the 42-year-old, who purchased his scooter last year has utilized it to the fullest, exploring the 655-acre estate.
Besides scooters, Prince William is a fan of motorbikes, with his wife Kate Middleton once voicing her fears about his love for riding. A safer alternative to motorbikes, the electric scooter also offers a host of environmentally friendly perks, making the prince’s choice a favored one.
