But it was one of his other hobbies which was on show as he turned up on the flashy set of wheels.

The Duke of Cambridge was spotted on what appeared to be a Ducati Hypermotard motorbike.

The top speed for the model is believed to be in the range of 130mph.

He is known to be a big motorbike enthusiast – famously riding around London on one on the eve of his wedding.

William previously owned a £20,000 Ducati motorbike, which can go from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds.

But he said he was planning to put his hobby “on the back burner” after tying the knot and having kids.

Kate, 36, is not a fan of his obsession, previously admitting it “fills her with horror” when her husband goes out on his bike.

 

Speaking in 2015, she said: “I'm terrified. Hopefully, I'm going to keep George off it.”

But he has clearly not given up the pastime completely.

At the end of the game, Wills donned his helmet and other protective clothing and hopped back onto the bike.
