Duke of Edinburgh car accident

[TheSpottedZebra]

He's fine, apparently, but the car overturned. Nr Sandringham.

Oh dear, hope everyone involved is ok.

I can't believe a frail 97 year old is still driving tbh. Especially a Range Rover!

He is lucky, hope the other people involved are ok.

97 and behind the wheel? Crazy.

Can't believe this was the main story on the 6pm news. He's walked away uninjured, bizarre.

BBC News didn't suggest he was actually driving the car, just that he was involved in an accident.

Yep, should have said - the other people are are OK, although treated for minor injuries.

We were posting at the same time OP, I just started a thread too.

Nicolas Witchell had his special black suit of mourning on.
But he jauntied it up with a navy tie.

Does he have a driving licence I wonder? Or is he too special / old en to not have needed to get one.

Old enough that was meant to say.

If the car overturned I don't think he'll be allowed to drive again! Glad no one is hurt, that could have been a different scenario

The updated bulletin says he was driving. I suspect he will be very shaken and probably won't want to drive any longer.

He should absolutely not be driving at that age! If he’s unfit for public service he’s unfit to drive

Those poor people in the other car who got injured.

Hope the other people are ok. Haven't heard any mention of them.

I don’t think the queen and duke of Edinburgh are required to have a driving liscence are they? I’m pretty sure I’ve read that before.

If he’s unfit for public service he’s unfit to drive

So no-one should be allowed to drive after they retire?

Bugger me, why shouldn't I drive, just because I'm retiring soon? I'm not even 60 yet!

'Concious but shocked and very shaken' now...

We have no idea how it happened and who, if anyone was at fault.

I think the queen doesn't need a driving licence but everyone else in the royal family does.

Anyone can have an accident - that's why they're called accidents!

One accident doesn't mean you're unfit to be behind the wheel of a car, does it?

What's the best value dongle to get for roaming in the UK. Home WiFi is with virgin, but don't really want to go with them. It's more for use when on holiday and out of the house.

@Rugbychick1 I think you need to start your own thread about this.

Christ he’s lucky. Walking away from an overturned car!
This is awful but I bet Theresa May was hoping for some sort of distraction from her shit show
