Prince Philip: Duke of Edinburgh is not hurt after car crash

Prince Philip

The Duke of Edinburgh, who is the Queen's husband, has been involved in a car crash, Buckingham Palace has said.

They have said that Prince Philip, who is 97, was shaken but not hurt.

He had been driving on a road called the A149, close to the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

Later today, Norfolk County Council will be discussing whether to reduce the speed limit for the road the Prince crashed on.

People living near the road have spoken about their concern about the A149 road in the past - some saying that cars drive too fast down it.

Buckingham Palace said the accident involved another vehicle and police attended the scene. Two people in the other car were taken to hospital for treatment for cuts and an arm injury.

The Prince retired from public life in August 2017 and in April last year he underwent a successful hip replacement operation in hospital.

He is now back at Sandringham with the Queen, where he has been staying since Christmas.

There will be an investigation into how the crash happened.

There is no legal limit on driving ages in the UK, although motorists have to renew their licence every three years after the age of 70.
