Prince William sacrifices key privilege in exchange for Forest Lodge\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prince William received a notice for a fresh ban just two months after moving into his \u2018forever home\u2019 with Princess Kate and their three children.<\/p>\n
The move was meant to mark a \u201cfresh start\u201d for the Waleses and allow them to live their life in privacy and as normally as possible. However, William did not expect to be stripped off of something that gave him joy, just so he could continue living in his new home.<\/p>\n
New rules have been issued for Windsor Great Park and it takes away the future king\u2019s beloved e-scooter away, which has famously been his mode of transport at the royal palaces.<\/p>\n
The notice informs that due to \u201csafety and traffic management\u201d reasons, \u201ce-scooters, hoverboards and similar\u201d are \u201cnot permitted\u201d. However, cyclists are allowed and the roads are reserved for residents and Estate workers.<\/p>\n
However, a source noted that the Prince of Wales will be sticking to the rules like the rest of the residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cWilliam used to love his e-scooter to get around the castle as there was no ban,\u201d an insider told The Sun. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut, of course, he\u2019s more than happy and prepared to adhere to the rules on e-scooters in Windsor Great Park.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recently, William had surprised Eugene Levy when they filmed for the actor\u2019s The Reluctant Traveller docuseries.<\/p>\n
He revealed that his father King Charles \u201cspends a lot of time here\u201d but the royals don\u2019t actually live in the castle.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe come and use the castle for work and for meetings, and to see people. I\u2019m always late so I thought this was the way to keep my meetings on time.\u201d<\/p>\n
He jokingly added, \u201cI\u2019m still regularly late, Eugene, anyway. I have managed to get myself a puncture this morning, which is quite amusing. That\u2019s why I was going so slowly up the road.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even though the ban is in place, William can ride the e-scooter near the roads of his house but not the ride down The Long Walk, a 2.5-mile tree-lined avenue to Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William sacrifices key privilege in exchange for Forest Lodge\u00a0 Prince William received a notice for a fresh…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375212,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-375211","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375211\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
