98 yr old duke crashes range rover

[NormarkSuperswede]

Princess Margaret And Prince Andrew still the winners when it comes to "Bullying" . When the met mentioned about his daughters having protection removed. He made sure anyone getting in his way "suffered" . And as for Margaret , She cost a few people their jobs. I can see Mohammed fayad hiring every pap in the country to follow Phillip and get any shots of him making mistakes .

Must have been hard all those 70 hr weeks on shift work.

Or helping so many young people for decades.


If you are going to moan and groan at least educate yourself

Maybe it’s you who should be educated.

He’s spent decades turning up at things, reluctantly in many cases, lending his name to things and insulting people.

Yep. bigot, racist, where to begin with this absolute bottom feeder?

In age when we venerate anybody who served in WW2 and disparage people such as F1 drivers for never saying anything interesting I rather approve of a 97 year old who patently does not give a fk ...

He was on private land.

But pulled into a public road.

Tabloids have interviewed the passenger in the car.

No win no fee ambulance chasers to follow? Palace will settle out of court you would imagine.

Well there goes my sympathy. Do people have no dignity anymore? Am sure the settlement will be adequate......

Perhaps if the palace had got on the phone to her to apologise rather than being too busy ordering a new car for the 97 year old who just crashed his last one..

No. It was hired from Budgie.

From his point of view he’s just going from one part of his property to another, it’s not his fault there’s all these damn public highways getting in the way.

I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t drive there up the A10, he just pootles about their estates, and across any roads that get in the way.

For him not being able to do this, is like a normal person being told they can’t use the stairs in their own house without a carer to help them.

BBC article

woman quoted by BBC said:

A woman, who did not want to be named, said younger drivers often used the road as "a rat run".

Hence showing that she does not know what a rat run is, and that the article wasn't checked by anyone who knows. Sorry indictment of the state of 'journalism' today.

Missheard. She was complaining about the number of pot holes on that stretch and was referring to them as Road Dents.

I wonder if Kia will supply the innocent party in all this a new car within 24hrs or is that just reserved for LR and the nobility?

I guess they’ll have to go through the hassle of an insurance claim, hire cars and increased premiums for the next couple of years.

Should make for an interesting claim though...

Agreed. He's an arrogant, self entitled old who, if he was an ordinary member of the public, would've had the book throw at him by Plod.

But because he's the Duke of fking Edinburgh, he can do whatever the fk he wants with , zero consequences.

fk him. The sooner the stupid Greek loses his licence the better.

As far as I know we, keyboard warriors, are not privy to what the investigation has revealed, or what the consequences will be.

Why would Kia do that - they'll go through insurance as anyone else does. His nibs has a fleet of cars and LR have a vested interest in supplying a car asap if that's what they did.

If you bang into anyone with a few bob you'd be in the same boat. C'est la vie.

Why does everyone keep going on about cars being ordered/delivered like jlr are in speed dial and he’s somehow jumped a queue???

The replacement car was simply brought down from another royal estate.... does anyone seriously think prince Philip only has one car!

[Balmoral]

Strange isn't it, I just thought the car was one of many in the estate garage, it didn't occur to me for a moment that somebody said jump and JLR had jumped and got one around to him pronto, I didn't realise they'd had any involvement.

Particularly given that the Freelander 2 has been out of production for a couple of years now...

Surely the royals should be driving a freeloader, rather than a freelander ?

See what I did there.

[akadk]

WTF are they stashing all these Freelanders ?!
