Prince Louis enjoys driving his electric toy car around the 100 acres of private grounds at Windsor Castle

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 king is watched over as he takes his wheels for a spin on 100 acres of private grounds at Windsor Castle.

And an insider said the sun: “He can use the paths that run through Frogmore Gardens as a racetrack and it’s completely private.

“The Queen used the area to ride and take her dogs. Now Andy and Fergie go there with corgis.

“It’s quiet and away from the public, so ideal for Louis.”

Electric toy cars typically cost over £100 and are loved by children across the country. You can get toy vehicles from brands such as a Land Rover, Mini Cooper, a Bentley and even a Mercedes G-Wagon.

And it’s not the first time a royal child has been behind the wheel, as his grandfather King Charles was pictured inside a pedal car aged three alongside the Queen at Balmoral in 1952.

Earlier this year it was revealed that eco-friendly Prince William, 41, has 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 Welsh 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 drive them on public roads – unless they are part of a hire scheme.

A source told The Sun: “It just makes sense. He goes all the way to the castle when he has to see the King.

“It’s about a two or three mile round trip from his family home at Adelaide Cottage to Windsor Castle, so it’s easier by scooter than by car or on foot.”

The King is a motorcycle enthusiast, 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 dread” whenever he went on and William has appeared to take a step back from his hobby in recent years.

The five-year-old is known for stealing the show at royal events such as the coronation and Trooping the Color.

The newspaper also reported that Prince Louis’ brother, Prince XX, XX, used to enjoy driving a miniature tractor.

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

But a year later it was reported that the Cambridge royal has 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 toy is finished in Balmoral Green, has brown leather seats and a green Wilton carpet. It is powered by a 160cc Honda engine with automatic gearbox. The car also has working lights and a radio.

The sports car was ‘road tested’ before George received it from the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh’s son James, who was then eight.

The kid-friendly Aston Martin, which tops out at 20mph, was one of just 25 built.

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