Newly Surfaced Video Shows Prince William Traveling by Scooter at Windsor Castle

It looks like the Prince of Wales just found his favorite mode of transportation.

On Thursday, a royal fan shared footage of Prince William , 42, riding through the gates of Windsor Castle on an electric scooter. In the video, the future monarch casually cruises by in a white-collared shirt and blue sweater with navy pants. He's also seen wearing a chic pair of sunglasses.

The caption reads, "Happy 4th of July from Prince William on a scooter."

In the comments, one fan wrote, "Wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card." Another added, "Love this man so much, he is the coolest future king ever."

If you recall, the prince purchased his eco-friendly scooter in July 2023. At the time, 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.”

Although it's illegal to ride these scooters on public roads, they are allowed on ­private land.

Prince William isn't the only royal who has opted for a more eco-friendly mode of traveling. King Charles , known for his environmentalism, owns an Aston Martin DB6 convertible, which now runs on bioethanol—a type of fuel made from cheese and wine. (FYI, William and his wife, Kate Middleton, used the car after they tied the knot in 2011.)

Additionally, in 2018, the king purchased an electric car, the Jaguar I-Pace, for personal use. However, the car is heading to auction later this month.

The newly surfaced video of Prince William riding his scooter comes just a few days after he attended the Breakthrough Energy Summit , an event that honors global climate leaders who are working toward a clean energy future. In his speech , he said, "Today, we celebrate the innovators, entrepreneurs and optimists, as well as the allies and investors, providing the necessary support along their journey to scale. Together, we will create a sustainable future for generations to come."

Kudos to the prince for doing his part.
