Prince Louis enjoys driving his electric toy car around Windsor Castle, an insider has claimed. 

The five-year-old is known for stealing the show at royal events, such as the Coronation and Trooping the Colour. 

The mischievous royal is supervised whilst he takes his wheels for a spin on the 100 acres of private land at Windsor Castle. 

And an insider told The Sun: ‘He can use the paths that are running through Frogmore Gardens like a racetrack and it is completely private.

‘The Queen used to use the area to go riding and take her dogs. Now Andy and Fergie go there with the corgis.

‘It’s quiet and away from the public so ideal for Louis.’ 

Electric toy cars usually cost upwards of £100 and are loved by children across the nation. You can get branded toy vehicles such as a Land Rover, Mini Cooper, a Bentley and even a Mercedes G-Wagon.  

And this is not the first time a royal child has gotten behind the wheel, as his grandfather, King Charles, was pictured inside a pedal-car age three alongside The Queen at Balmoral in 1952. 

Earlier this year it was revealed that eco-friendly Prince William, 41, reportedly invested in an electric scooter to zip around the Windsor estate. 

 He made the purchase to speed up the three-mile round trip from Adelaide Cottage – where the Wales family moved last September – to see his father King Charles at Windsor Castle, according to reports.

Currently in the UK electric scooters can only be used on private land with the landowner’s permission. It is illegal to ride them on public roads – unless they are part of a hire scheme.

‘It’s a two or three-mile round trip from his family home at ­Adelaide Cottage to Windsor Castle so it’s easier by scooter than car or walking.’ 

The royal is a lover of motorbikes, having once owned a £20,000 Ducati bike, which can go from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds. He even rode it the night before his wedding to Kate in 2011.

However the Princess of Wales once admitted it ‘filled her with horror’ whenever he went on it and William has appeared to take a step back from his hobby in recent years.

The outlet also reported that Prince Louis’s brother Prince George, XX, used to enjoy driving around on miniature tractor. 

The vehicle, which costs £100 and is from agricultural company, John Deere, which holds a royal warrant to supply his grandmother, the Queen, with farm and garden machinery.

But a year later it was reported that the eldest Cambridge royal traded in his tractor for a more powerful set of wheels. 

Prince George now has his own Aston Martin after inheriting a miniature V8 Volante from his father, the Prince of Wales, in 2016.

The vintage plaything is finished in Balmoral green, has tan leather seats and a green Wilton carpet. It is powered by a 160cc Honda engine with automatic gearbox. The car also has working headlights and a radio.

The sports car was ‘road-tested’ prior to George receiving it by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh’s son, James, who was then age eight. 

The child-friendly Aston Martin, which reaches speeds of 20mph, was one of only 25 built. 

It was presented to Prince Charles in 1988 as a gift for his sons, Prince William and his younger brother Prince Harry.
