Police tell Prince Philip to buckle up
Print Edition
British police have spoken with Prince Philip after the husband of Queen Elizabeth II was photographed apparently driving without wearing a seatbelt 鈥 just two days after he was involved in a serious car crash.
British media on Saturday published a photograph showing the 97-year-old royal driving a new Land Rover near the royal residence at Sandringham in eastern England.
Norfolk Police said 鈥渟uitable words of advice have been given to the driver.鈥
Police said the advice given to Philip was 鈥渋n line with our standard response when being made aware of such images showing this type of offense.鈥 Buckingham Palace didn鈥檛 comment on the images.
Philip was driving another Land Rover when he was involved in a violent collision on Thursday in which two women in a Kia car were injured. A 9-month-old baby boy in the Kia was unhurt. Philip had to be helped out of his overturned vehicle but wasn鈥檛 injured.
The palace said Friday that Philip and the queen had privately contacted the other people in the crash and exchanged good wishes.
But Emma Fairweather, who broke her wrist in the collision, told the Sunday Mirror newspaper that she had not heard from the palace.
鈥淚 still haven鈥檛 had any contact from the royal household,鈥 she said. 鈥淢aybe he should prioritize that over test driving his new car.鈥
The 46-year-old said 鈥渋t would mean the world to me鈥 if Philip offered an apology.
Police haven鈥檛 disclosed who was at fault for the crash, which happened after Philip drove onto a main road from a side road near the royal family鈥檚 Sandringham estate.
The queen and Philip have been on an extended Christmas break in Sandringham, their holiday tradition for many years.
Philip has been in generally good health and was photographed in December driving a horse-drawn carriage.
