We've got more info from Prince William's outing today, which looks to be a fun one!

The Prince of Wales has tried out a "fantastic" replica of a Jaguar Formula E (FE) racing car, as he joked about drivers being replaced by artificial intelligence (AI).

William met drivers and engineers at Jaguar TCS Racing’s base in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, working on new technologies in the world’s fastest-growing electric motorsport.

In the factory, the prince was greeted by Antonio Felix da Costa, the 2020 FE world champion, who offered him the chance to sit behind the wheel of a development car, identical to the team’s current model.

"There’s not a lot of room in the legs, is there?" joked William, who stands at 6ft 3in, as he settled into the car.
