Windsor Great Park Rules Bar Prince William From Using E‑Scooter at New Forest Lodge Home

Reports point to a park-wide motorised transport ban for safety and traffic management, with any resident exemptions or enforcement details still unclear.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets on January 17 report that Windsor Great Park prohibits e‑scooters, meaning the Prince of Wales cannot ride one within the grounds around Forest Lodge.
  • Forest Lodge, a Grade II-listed eight-bedroom home inside the 4,800-acre park, became the Waleses’ reported "forever home" after their move from Adelaide Cottage in late 2025.
  • Prince William was previously seen using an e‑scooter on the separate Windsor Castle Estate and appeared arriving on one in Apple TV’s The Reluctant Traveller.
  • An insider quoted by The Sun says William accepted the restriction and intends to follow the park’s rules on motorised personal transport.
  • Some reports suggest limited riding may be tolerated on roads near residences but not on The Long Walk, and separate coverage notes possible fines or seizure, with no official comment from Kensington Palace.
