Prince William has been banned from riding his e-scooter around the Windsor Great Park, where his “forever home” Forest Lodge is, it has been claimed.
The Prince and Princess of Wales made the move after leaving thier former home of Adelaide Cottage last year.
The Grade II-listed building has been marked as their “forever home,” as they are keen to make a “fresh start” after a turbulent few years.
The move does present the future king with a drawback, however, because rules for the royal estate state e-scooters “are not permitted” within the grounds “for safety reasons and traffic management".
