On January 17, Prince Philip of England, aka the Duke of Edinburgh, was involved in a two-car collision near the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Although he was accompanied by a female driver, Prince Philip was behind the wheel and bears the responsibility for the accident. Philip, 97, driving a black Land Rover, pulled onto the busy A149 and was T-boned by a black Kia carrying two women and a baby. The Land Rover rolled onto its side and Philip was pulled to safety through the 4 x 4’s sunroof as it lay on is side. He was shaken but conscious and unhurt. Two people in the Kia were treated for minor injuries. One witness said the Kia was smoking and looked as if it might explode. Philip explained that he was dazzled by the winter sun and, apparently, did not see the oncoming Kia.

That dang Prince Phillip still has a bad boy streak….what do you think?

The Queen will certainly be annoyed with him! He is fortunate that he was not hurt and others weren’t badly injured. Perhaps he should confine his driving to the estate and stay off highways, yet being blinded by the sun could happen to any of us.

I’m sure you are right about the Queen.

Thank the good Lord that nobody was badly hurt or even killed in this mishap. I expect that HRH is annoyed with himself, as well. Maybe he should curtail his driving to back roads on the estates as his very sensible wife does. It would be a shame to lose him now; he’s been through so much already in his long life.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Pat. He is really blessed that no one, including himself, had greater injuries than a broken wrist. Best, Lisa
