The Prince of Wheels: British Royal zooms through social media in quirky video
- Replies 10
The Royal Family has been the centre of attention as of late for several reasons.
From looming health concerns to a myriad of speculations on social media, they continue to do their royal duties as mandated.
In a scene that captured thousands of people online, Prince William, the Prince of Wales, just embraced a modern and eco-friendly mode of transportation.
A video of the Prince zipping around Windsor Castle on an electric scooter recently made rounds on social media.
The footage, which has amassed millions of views, showed the 42-year-old heir to the British Throne gliding down a pathway before making a swift turn.
Clad in a smart-casual ensemble and a pair of sleek dark sunglasses, Prince William exuded a blend of royal dignity and relatable 'dad energy'.
This, in turn, earned him the affectionate nickname 'The Prince of Wheels'.
Social media users praised the Prince's relaxed demeanour depicted in the video.
'Yes! It's the shades for me and the smart casual outfit for a meeting,' one commented.
'One thing is to read that Prince William often rides around Windsor Castle on an electric scooter, and another is to see him riding around Windsor Castle on one,' another wrote.
'Prince William is definitely the coolest Prince ever!' a third exclaimed online.
According to sources, Prince William acquired the electric scooter last year to reduce the 15-minute walk from his residence to Windsor Castle.
The residence, which he shares with his wife, Princess Catherine and their three children, entailed a two to three-mile round trip.
An insider revealed that the electric scooter served as a quick way for the Prince to attend to royal duties and visit his father, King Charles—who was at Windsor Castle on the day of filming the video.
Prince William's adoption of the electric scooter was not just a nod to modernity.
It also aligned with the Royal Family's growing environmental consciousness.
By choosing an electric scooter for short trips, the Prince showed an example of sustainable living by reducing his carbon footprint.
This move could also encourage others to consider alternative forms of transportation.
The video gave royal watchers a glimpse into the Royal Family's personal life and their willingness to adapt to changing times and new technologies.
It's a refreshing image that contrasts with the traditional and often formal perception of the monarchy.

However, zooming around electric scooters may come with caveats.
In a previous article, a Sydney home caught fire, suspectedly caused by an electric bike's lithium-ion batteries.
SDC Member @Zemo shared his thoughts on electronics with lithium-ion batteries and said they 'need to be treated and charged with the greatest circumspection'.
