he came out of a drive onto the A419 and got clobbered, not much speed as to him, the velocity in whoever/whatever hit him. Driving without due attention etc, well that's a matter for the Norfolk police.

Agree with you DTC, my dad was forced to give up at 75 by DVLA and he was in better nick than Phil.

[woofgang]

Do we know he was driving?

[ducksie]

People that pulled him from car said he was driving, he was ok but shocked

[DTCwordfan]

yes he was.....

// A source tells PEOPLE that Prince Philip, 97, was driving at the time of the accident //

[DTCwordfan]

the BBC News said that he was driving - probably with his protection officer with him.

[Spicerack]

You'd think he'd have a driver/bodyguard. (well, I would)

[DTCwordfan]

Probably the royal reaction on hearing the news.... https://cdn.images.dailystar.co.uk/dynamic/1/photos/301000/620x/queen-503873.jpg

Why are we speculating?

We don’t know all the details at this point.

I hate to think what his language was like after the incident , then he'll get an ear-bashing from the missus.

[chrissa1]

I wonder if he was breathalysed.

[DTCwordfan]

MW - suggest you watch BBC's i-player or news channel - it's not speculation.

I'm fairly sure I know exactly where the accident occurred. It is not a drive that the Duke pulled out from but a public road which crosses the A149 from the Sandringham Estate and leads to the village of Wolferton.

About twenty years ago I was travelling south from Hunstanton towards Kings Lynn on an misty, icy morning between Christmas and New Year. From the left (from the Sandringham Estate) appeared a dark blue Range Rover driver by an elderly woman wearing a headscarf. I was doing about 35mph (more than fast enough for the conditions) and I had to brake far more harshly than I would have liked. I managed to stop about ten or twelve feet from the emerging Range Rover which had hesitated and almost stopped across my path, straddling the main road. I identified the driver quite clearly as H M Queen. She waved, gave me a sort of "guilty" smile and pulled away, disappearing towards Wolferton.

I don't know what attraction that village holds for the Royal couple. Perhaps they pop down to the village to get a few groceries and the daily paper.

I thought Philip drove a blue Land Rover Freelander. Saw him in that recently on the box.

I expect she sent him out to do some stockpiling, NJ.

probably going down the rub a dub dub for a couple of britneys judge.
