WRAPPED in a long wool coat, and looking cheerful, the Queen smiled while attending a chilly church service today.
But there was no sign of Prince Philip at St Peter’s church in Wolferton, three days after the Duke of Edinburgh was involved in a serious car crash.
British police have spoken with Prince Philip after he was photographed apparently driving without wearing a seatbelt just two days after he was involved in a serious car crash.
Norfolk Police said late yesterday that "suitable words of advice have been given to the driver".
Cops spoke to Philip after a photograph was published showing the Duke of Edinburgh, 97, driving a new Land Rover near the royal residence at Sandringham.
They said advice was given to him "in line with our standard response when being made aware of such images showing this type of offence."
On Thursday, Philip was driving another vehicle when he was involved in a serious collision in which two women in the other car, a Kia, suffered minor injuries.
A 9-month-old baby boy in the Kia was unhurt. Philip was not injured.
The accident is still being investigated and no one has been arrested or charged.
But the incident and Philip's subsequent driving apparently without using a seatbelt is raising questions about his continued use of roadways.
Buckingham Palace says Philip has a valid driver's license.
There is no upper age limit for licensing drivers in Britain, although drivers over 70 are required to renew their licenses every three years and tell authorities about certain medical ailments that might raise safety issues.
He passed a vision test administered Saturday as part of the investigation into the accident.
