Windsor Great Park Resident Barred from E-Scooter Use
Residents of Windsor Great Park are subject to strict rules regarding transportation. Recently, these regulations have affected Prince William, who has been barred from using his e-scooter since relocating to Forest Lodge.
Windsor Great Park Regulations
Windsor Great Park, an expansive area covering 4,800 acres, prohibits all forms of motorized transport. This rule is in place for safety and traffic management reasons. Prince William and his family recently moved into Forest Lodge, located within these boundaries.
Previous Residency and E-Scooter Use
Before settling in Forest Lodge, the royal family lived at Adelaide Cottage, situated four miles north in the Windsor Castle Estate. During his three-year residency there, Prince William frequently used his e-scooter to navigate the 655-acre estate and travel to the castle.
- Previous residence: Adelaide Cottage
- Current residence: Forest Lodge
- Area of operation: Windsor Great Park
- Park size: 4,800 acres
- Estate size: 655 acres
Response to the Ban
Insiders have noted that Prince William enjoyed using his e-scooter for commuting within the castle grounds, where such usage was permitted. Despite the new regulations, he is reportedly willing to comply with the rules of Windsor Great Park.
Interestingly, residents living on the estate might still use e-scooters on roads adjacent to their homes. However, using them on The Long Walk—a 2.5-mile tree-lined avenue leading to Windsor Castle—is strictly prohibited. Violators could face fines and penalties, including the potential seizure of their e-scooter by law enforcement.
Previous Sightings
Prince William’s fondness for e-scooters became public knowledge earlier this year. He was seen riding one during a visit to the castle for a meeting with actor Eugene Levy. Discussion around the e-scooter’s practicality for timely arrivals has surfaced during this encounter.
Despite the restrictions in place, Prince William remains committed to adhering to Windsor Great Park’s regulations while navigating his new environment.
