Prince William spotted whizzing around on electric scooter at Windsor Castle

Prince William has been captured whizzing around the grounds of Windsor Castle on his electric scooter.

The nine-second-long video, which has since amassed over one million views, showed the senior royal riding in style – wearing a blue jumper, black pants, sneakers and sunnies – as he drove his electric scooter down a pathway at Windsor Castle before turning down an archway and disappearing from sight.

The text overlay on the comically filmed video read, "Happy 4th of July from Prince William on a scooter."

Viewers were bemused by the sight of the heir of the British throne casually zooming past.

"Pulling up to Windsor Castle on a scooter is the funniest thing," remarked one commenter.

"Prince William has such dad vibes and I love it," said one, with another adding that he's being "hip these days... dancing like no one's watching to [Taylor Swift], riding scooters... love that for him."

"Didn't know he was chill like that," another commenter remarked.

Riding electric scooters is illegal on public roads but is permitted on private land, such as the Windsor Estate.

It is believed that William was dropping by Windsor Castle to visit his father, King Charles, who was there on Thursday before having to head to Buckingham Palace to hold audiences with outgoing and incoming prime ministers, Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer.

William reportedly treated himself to the two-wheeled ride with a maximum speed of 10 miles per hour (about 16km per hour) last year in order to easily travel from his family home of Adelaide Cottage and the castle, both located on the Windsor Estate.

A royal source told The Sun said at the time, "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 is much easier by scooter than car or walking."
