Footage has emerged of Prince William yelling at a photographer for “stalking” his family while on a bicycle ride.

In the video circulating on social media, the Duke of Cambridge appears frustrated and angry at the photographer, who he claims has been “stalking” the family.

The Duchess of Cambridge and the children are just out of shot and a female voice – presumably Kate Middleton – can be heard off camera chastising the photographer about being around their house.

“You’re stalking around looking for us and our children. I’m out for a quiet bike ride with my children on a Saturday and you won’t give me your name,” Prince William yelled.

“You’re outrageous, you’re disgusting, you really are. How dare you behave like that?”

The eldest son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana can be seen hastily trying to make a phone call – presumably to police or guards – as he tries to ride away from the photographer.

“Yeah I need you here … I’ve had an altercation with a photographer. He’s filming me. He’s right next to me now,” the Prince says while on the phone.

The video, which spans for more than one minute, shows the initial altercation and subsequent clips of the photographer following the Duke of Cambridge.

The photographer can be heard trying to defend his actions throughout the video.

In the first few seconds of the video you can hear a male voice say: “I just realised who it was and I’ve just stopped”.

To which the Prince angrily replied: “You didn’t, you’re out here looking for us”.

The Duchess of Cambridge chimes in saying: “You drove past outside our house, I saw you”.

“No I haven’t, I haven’t been near the house. I promise you I have not been near the house,” the person holding the camera says.

When the Duke of Cambridge asked the photographer how he knew where they would be, he defended himself by saying: “I didn’t know you were coming down here did I … I’ve just walked up here from West Leederville”.

“I’ve moved out of the way so you could get past. As soon as I saw you I moved,” the photographer said.

The video ends with Prince William saying: “I thought you guys would have learned by now”.

It is understood the incident took place in 2021 but was only recently shared online.
