Queen Elizabeth ‘scared to death’ by Prince William’s tactic to escape the press: report
Queen Elizabeth has reportedly been left “scared to death” after Prince William revealed his secret tactics for evading the press.
The prince has often been seen dashing through the streets of London alone, including on the eve of his wedding to Kate Middleton.
His love for motorbikes dates back to his childhood, with a passion for go-karting and quad bikes before eventually transitioning to motorcycles.
The anonymity provided by his motorcycle helmet allows Prince William to relax and enjoy the camaraderie associated with motorbikes.
However, this hobby has raised concerns within the Royal family.
Royal photographer James Whittaker, in the 2005 documentary “Chasing the Royals,” revealed that it frightens people at Buckingham Palace, including the Queen herself.
Whittaker noted the irony of Prince William using a motorbike, given that his mother, Princess Diana, frequently tried to escape from paparazzi who were often on motorbikes.
The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has also expressed her worries about the prince's hobby.
In 2015, she admitted to being terrified and hoped to keep their son, Prince George, away from motorcycles.
The concerns surrounding Prince William's motorcycle escapades have shed light on the Royal family's reaction to his chosen pastime.
While the prince finds solace and enjoyment in riding, those close to him worry about the potential risks and the memories it may evoke of Princess Diana's tragic fate.
It is evident that Prince William's love for motorbikes goes beyond mere transportation, representing a sense of freedom and anonymity for him.
However, the Queen and other members of the Royal family cannot help but feel anxious about his safety and the potential media attention that his rides may attract.
