Prince Philip gives up licence after crash

LONDON: Prince Philip, the 97-year-old husband of British Queen Elizabeth II, has voluntarily surrendered his driving licence, weeks after the duke miraculously escaped unhurt in a terrifying accident that injured two women in another car. “After careful consideration the Duke of Edinburgh has taken the decision to voluntarily surrender his driving licence,” Buckingham Palace said in a brief statement. He surrendered his licence on Saturday, the palace said. The Prince’s decision to hand over his driving licence was entirely his own and he will be driven from now on, it added.
