Prince William's Need for Speed: Kate Middleton's Motorbike Fears Rev Up as She Tries to Steer Prince George Away From Dad's Daredevil Hobby

Prince William's reported love of motorbiking has resurfaced, leading Princess Kate to raise alarm bells over 'curious' Prince George.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, is reportedly not a fan of Prince William's love of motorbiking! The Prince of Wales' passion for the sport was on full display during his visit to the Virtual Production Studio at Ulster University's Belfast City Campus on Thursday, November 15.

"Any excuse to get on a motorbike!" HRH said out loud. "I feel like someone needs to take this for a real spin."

I love that exhaust," he said before adding that the ride was "incredibly realistic."

This followed a comical but concerning comment the future queen shared during a visit to Scotland in 2015. "It always fills me with horror when he goes out on it," the then-Duchess of Cambridge stated. "I’m terrified. Hopefully, I’m going to keep George off of it."

Three years later during a visit to the Isle of Mann, the future king shared, "I'm a dad of three. I have to tone it down. I miss the big trips. For me, biking was always about being with everybody else."

This comes after the next monarch and consort reportedly had a recent argument over where to send George to school. The spat went down even though the future queen is currently receiving chemotherapy treatments for an undisclosed form of cancer!

Her Royal Highness thinks that "sending George to such a stuffy, upper-crust institution goes against all of their efforts to modernize the monarchy," a palace insider disclosed.

The source spilled even more: "[Kate was] horribly bullied at her first boarding school and can't bear the thought of George suffering that."

The future king and queen are said to be going back and forth between Eton College — William's alma mater — and Marlborough College, which is where Kate graduated from. However, the king and queen-in-waiting have reportedly reached a possible compromise and are also considering another option.

Their Royal Highnesses are also looking at St. Edward's School in Oxford, which comes with a 47,000 pound per year price tag. It is believed the pair think the school is a good fit for George, who is second in line to the throne, and reportedly visited the location shortly before the princess had abdominal surgery. Kate long disagreed with her husband about sending him away, even though it's tradition.

"Kate long disagreed with her husband about sending him away, even though it’s tradition," they added.

"Eton College is a charity for the advancement of education. At its heart sits an independent boys' boarding school which leads a dynamic range of educational activities and an expanding network of educational partnerships," the school's mission statement reads. "The charity’s primary purpose, determined from its Christian foundation in 1440, is to draw out the best of young people’s talents and to enable them to flourish and make a positive impact on others through the course of a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life."
