British tabloids publish pictures of Prince Philip behind the wheel two days after crash

Prince Philip has been pictured driving again just two days after he was involved in a car crash in Norfolk.

The 97-year-old Duke of Edinburgh was involved in an accident on Thursday afternoon near the Royal Family's Sandringham estate, with police called to the scene.

The Land Rover Freelander the Prince was driving rolled on its side in the incident, and two passengers in the other vehicle involved received minor injuries.

"The Duke was not injured," Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

The other driver, a 28-year-old woman, suffered cuts to her knee and a 45-year-old woman passenger in the car, which also had a nine-month-old baby on board, sustained a broken wrist. They were taken to hospital but later released. The baby was uninjured.

Now photos in The Sun and Daily Mail appear to show Prince Philip driving alone at Sandringham.

A replacement Land Rover, which the Duke is seen driving, was delivered to the estate on Friday.

Police earlier confirmed that Prince Philip had made contact with the occupants of the other crashed car to exchange "well-wishes".

"It was an astonishing escape for everyone," said Roy Warne, 75, who pulled the Prince from the wreckage on Thursday.

"People could have been killed. The impact must have been enormous," Mr Warne, who was driving home with his wife when he saw the collision, told TV reporters.

"He's a very brave man. He didn't make a big fuss about it and he went to ask everyone else if they were injured."

The Duke has retained his driver's licence, despite experiencing health issues in the past few years.
