The Prince of Wales is concerned her eldest son might take up one of Prince William’s “terrifying” hobbies.

The Princess of Wales once said she was “terrified” of one of Prince William’s hobbies and hoped that her eldest child, Prince George would stay “off it”.
Princess Kate reportedly “hates” it when her husband rides motorbikes and would rather the second in line to the throne steered clear of it.
The future Queen admitted her dislike for motorbikes back in 2015 after she told a fan about whether William was still riding his motorbike: “He’s still riding it. It always fills me with horror when he goes out on it.
“I’m terrified. Hopefully, I’m going to keep George off it.”

The Prince of Wales passed his motorcycle test in 2002, aged 20 and was known for his admirable collection of two-wheelers including a Honda Super Blackbird and a Ducati 1198s.

His father, King Charles, was equally worried as his daughter-in-law, about his son’s hobby.
William said in 2003 about motorbikes: “Riding a motorbike can be dangerous but so can lots of things really.
“Admittedly, there are more risks involved in riding a motorbike than there are with other things … you’ve just got to be aware of what you’re doing.
“My father is concerned about the fact that I’m into motorbikes but he doesn’t want to keep me all wrapped up in cotton wool.”
While the heir to the throne may have reduced the amount of time he spends on motorbikes, he is said to not have completely omitted it from his life.
Earlier this year, he also went viral on social media after he was spotted riding an electric scooter around Windsor Palace.
