His father, King Charles, was just as concerned as his daughter-in-law about his son’s hobby.
William said in 2003 about motorcycles: “Riding a motorcycle can be dangerous, but so can a lot of things.
“Certainly there are more risks in riding a motorcycle than in other things… you just have to be aware of what you’re doing.
“My dad worries that I like motorcycles, but he doesn’t want to keep me wrapped in cotton wool.”
Although the heir to the throne may have reduced the time he spends on the bike, he wouldn’t have completely forgotten it in his life.
Earlier this year, he also went viral on social media after he was spotted riding an electric scooter around Windsor Palace.
