With all his illness troubles, he was most probably up to the eyeballs in Night Nurse.

Is that what they call it these days.

The Duke of Edinburgh has been involved in a car crash while behind the wheel close to the Sandringham Estate.

Buckingham Palace says Prince Philip was not injured in the collision.

Pictures from the scene show the 97-year-old's Range Rover overturned on the side of the road.

Another passenger was in the vehicle at the time of the crash. While a spokeswoman would not comment on who this was, it was likely his close protection officer.

A palace spokesperson said: "The Duke of Edinburgh was involved in a road traffic accident with another vehicle on Thursday afternoon.

"The Duke was not injured. The accident took place close to the Sandringham Estate. Local police attended the scene."

Rhiannon Mills, Sky's royal correspondent, said: "From what I understand, Prince Philip has been seen by a doctor since that accident took place.

"I'm told that was a precautionary measure and that he is doing fine and that we should not be unduly concerned.

"Obviously, the fact that he is 97 years old will bring with it its own concerns. He is of course very independent and he has been a very active man.

"He has been trying to stay as active as possible since he retired from public duties. We also know that he is spending time at the moment on the Sandringham Estate with his wife, the Queen.

"They spend time there during the Christmas period and right through until February - until the date which marks the death of the Queen's father.

[BlueHammer85]

Indeed.Its pathetic.

Know he comes out with the odd gaffe and he shouldn’t be behind the wheel. But he’s been a great servent for this country, was in the British Navy, Army and Air Force.

Shape-shifting while driving can be dangerous.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

No ones mentioned the health of the poor horses that were pulling it

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

The Duke of Hazard.

 

[laughing gravy]

Indeed.Its pathetic.

whats pathetic is if that 97 year old had pulled out in front of a bike the rider would be dead!

He was a genuinely outstanding career naval officer, one who had a chance of going right to the top had he not met the Queen. He gave up his career. But few who fought against the Nazis get so little respect for it.
