Discouraged Hobby: Kate Seeks to Prohibit for Prince George
Ain't no stopping the sporty side of the royal family, especially Prince William. But there's one fiery passion of his that Duchess Kate, his better half, is hell-bent on keeping their eldest son, Prince George, far away from - motorcycles.
William's got more than just a soft spot for speedy machines. His collection of motorcycles, including a Honda Super Blackbird and a Ducati 1198s, will set any bike enthusiast's heart aflutter. However, with George quickly growing up, the potential interest in the thrill of two wheels is looming. Yet, Catherine's got different ideas. Back in 2011, she openly admitted her fears, confessing she was "terrified" every time William hopped on one of his bikes[1].
King Charles III, William's pops, might be on Catherine's side too. His skepticism towards William's motorcycle hobby dates back to 2003, but the prince wasn't ready to wrap himself in bubble wrap[2]. Fast forward to 2023, and William's still revvin' up for his speedy obsession, albeit with a touch of eco-friendly flair. A viral video of the prince whizzing around Windsor Castle on an electric scooter revealed his penchant for safer alternatives[3].
Whether George will eventually fall for the allure of the open road or stick to mum's wishes remains unwritten in the stars. But one thing's for sure - Catherine will fight tooth and nail to keep her son away from unnecessary risks.
