Prince Philip, 97, Surrenders driving license Month after automotive Crash

Queen Elizabeth II's 97-year-old husband Prince Philip on Saturday surrendered his driving licence after causing a car crash that outraged the media and stirred a debate about old age and driving.

Buckingham Palace aforesaid Duke of {edinburgh|prince} -- formally referred to as the Duke of Edinburgh -- took the choice on his own when rolling over his Land Rover last month.

"After careful thought, the Duke of Edinburgh has taken the choice to voluntarily surrender his permit," Buckingham Palace said in a very temporary statement.

Police within the eastern a part of England where the accident happened outside a royal residence stated that they had passed Philip's file to prosecutors to work out whether or not anyone ought to be charged.

"Norfolk Police will ensure that the 97-year-old driver of the Land Rover concerned within the collision at Sandringham ... voluntarily given his licence to officers," assured a police statement.

"The investigation file for the collision has been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for their thought."

A CPS spokesman stated that the service "will take this development into account" as it studies Philip's case.

Few royal watchers seriously expect Duke of Edinburgh to be chastised by the police.
