It is thought the Prince may have been visiting his father, the King, who was at Windsor Castle on Thursday before being driven to Buckingham Palace to hold audiences with outgoing and incoming prime ministers, Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer, on Friday morning.
“It’s a two or three-mile round trip from his family home at Adelaide Cottage to Windsor Castle so it is much easier by scooter than car or walking.”

‘It fills me with horror’
E-scooters are illegal to ride on public roads but can be ridden on private land.
The heir to the throne is known to love motorbikes, having once owned a £20,000 ($41,683) Ducati bike, which can go from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds.
He rode it the night before his wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011.
However, the Princess of Wales once admitted she did not like him riding it.
Asked during a royal engagement in Dundee in 2015 whether the Prince was still riding a motorbike from time to time, she confirmed: “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.”
He has not been seen on it recently, having apparently taken note and swapped it for the scooter.
