And this passion seems (really) lacking in Prince William. He actually abandoned her for one good and simple reason: his wife, Kate Middleton. In 2015, the Princess of Wales admitted that she hated her husband’s hobby. “He still drives it. It always fills me with horror when he does it. I’m terrified, she admitted at the time. I hope I can stop George from doing it.”
“I have to moderate my game”
A passion that his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, also feared during her lifetime. “I think it scares the life out of people at Buckingham Palace, and almost certainly the Queen as well,” royal expert James Whitaker said.
And a few years later, Prince William seemed to have listened to the prayers of those around him. During a visit to the Isle of Man in 2018, Prince William admitted to having abandoned his passion himself. “I am the father of three children. I have to moderate my game,” he said, nevertheless recognizing that he missed the big motorcycle trips.
