Prince William Says He Still Rides Motorcycles at 43 as Kate Middleton Remains Alarmed

Summary
William said during a visit last week to Norfolk Blood Bikes that he still rides motorcycles "now and again, quietly," reaffirming a long-running hobby despite family concern.
Royal commentators said Kate Middleton has repeatedly tried to get him to stop because of the danger, a worry shared in the past by Queen Elizabeth and King Charles.
The appeal, they said, is privacy as much as speed: riding under a helmet lets the future king move unrecognized and feel briefly free from constant public scrutiny.
That tension has deep roots. William owned high-powered bikes in 2006 capable of more than 160 mph, and Kate reportedly made some progress only after he became a father of three.
