Prince William admits he wears a disguise to take part in hobby that fills Kate with horror

The Princess of Wales spoke out about the activity back in 2015, with William confirming he'd 'toned it down' after the comments

William, Prince of Wales, recently confessed to going undercover to take part in a habit that his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, apparently isn’t too fond of him completing.

On Thursday (11 June), the 43-year-old met up with heroes who ride for Norfolk Blood Bikes, a dedicated fleet of volunteers who work to transport blood, plasma, breast milk, and other medical supplies to support the NHS.

The visit saw Prince William launch a new rapid response vehicle while meeting volunteers who willingly spend their time ‘ensuring lifesaving supplies reach patients quickly, safely and often outside of normal hours’, as per Kensington Palace.

"It’s a crucial part of the community, not many people understand the network,” he told bikers at Norwich University Hospital.

The centre, set close to Anmer Hall retreat, gifted to the royal and his wife, Kate Middleton, also became the recipient of a Ford Kuga named ‘Prince William’. It joined a Ford Focus called ‘Queen Elizabeth II’.

Seeing the cars and bikes lined up in their livery, William claimed he ‘loved’ vehicles.

He added that he does still ride out on motorbikes ‘now and again’ but can only ‘quietly’ climb aboard when wearing a ‘disguise’.

"I love bikes. I do still ride now and again, quietly". Giving a knowing nod, he said: "Disguise".

Hello! Magazine reported that the heir to the British throne gained his motorcycle license back in 2002 and that he previously completed a 1,000-mile motorbike trek across the South African wilderness in 2008 with Harry, Duke of Sussex.

The pair raised an incredible £500,000 for charity, The Mirror reported.

Despite his need for speed, the father-of-three has apparently ‘toned down’ his hobby in recent years after listening to his wife’s opinion.

During a visit to Dundee in 2015, when their son, Prince George, was only two, and daughter, Princess Charlotte, was a newborn, Kate claimed the thought of her husband riding a motorcycle filled her with ‘horror’.

“He's still riding it,” she admitted during a 2015 visit to Dundee. "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."

Three years later, the future King attended the Isle of Man TT races where he revealed he ‘missed’ going out on his vehicle.

However, he claimed: "I'm a dad of three. I have to tone it down. I miss big trips, for me biking was always about being with everybody else.”
