Prince Philip will not be prosecuted after he crashed his car at Sandringham.
The Crown Prosecution Service has decided that no further action will be taken after the Duke of Edinburgh, 97, was involved in a crash with another vehicle while driving his Land Rover.
Chris Long, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS East of England, said: “The CPS has carefully reviewed material submitted by the police in relation to a traffic collision on the A149 on 17 January this year.
“We took into account all of the circumstances in this case, including the level of culpability, the age of the driver and the surrender of the driving licence.
“We have decided that it would not be in the public interest to prosecute.
“All those involved in the collision have been informed and provided with a full explanation in writing.”
He voluntarily surrendered his licence after the crash that left two women injured.
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.
On January 17, the Land Rover Freelander he was driving collided with another vehicle, a Kia on the busy A149 road.
He had pulled out of a driveway on the Sandringham estate and was apparently dazzled by the sun.
The Land Rover rolled onto its side and Prince Philip had to be hauled out of the vehicle by a passing motorist. Two women and a baby were in the other car. The baby was unharmed and Emma Fairweather, who was a passenger, suffered a broken arm.
