I don't see a plaster cast - is that just a sprained wrist ?
It is difficult to spot, but I've highlighted a section of it for you in this picture. Zoom in if you're still having trouble seeing the cast. You'll be telling me the Prince was driving a Range Rover next ...
Here's something similar wrapped around my daughter's broken foot which she wore for the best part of five months.
(Let me know if you can't see the cast in this pic either)

I have always thought the current self cert for driving doesn't work. Too often an older person causes a crash where someone is injured or killed and their age has been shown to have played a part.
example please? too many ageist tts on here.Still, there's an outside chance that the generation then following them, given how the world is currently going, will probably give them both barrels!
That's, as said, is if they're lucky enough to reach being 'old'.

Indeed, my Mrs broke her foot a couple of years back and had a pink cast. Much thinner than the 'old school' casts that I've had in the past, and whilst you shouldn't get them wet I believe they're also more water resistant too?
Wet:That is because the bone is supported along its length by the (very) slightly compressed soft tissue, this stabilises the bone ends whilst allowing small micro-movement (which is beneficial).
What compresses the tissue evenly (to prevent sores) around the bone is the soft padding under the hard cast shell. Once the correct compression is achieved with the wrapping the hard shell just retains the wrapping/dressing and should apply no compression. This type of cast is lighter and waterproof, it is the soft padding you need to keep dry and clean.

On the age thing, a mate of mine who's 72 has bought a single seater to compete in speed events.
There has been TV programmes about drivers over 100 yrs old, so I'm surprised at the degree of reaction to Phil's age.

Of course. And I would be pressing for dangerous driving at minimum.
Get a grip!
He's clearly been wking himself daft over this story all weekend as it is. Grip is fine.
Usual ste on the Jeremy Vine show, unless I am wrong, and I am often wrong, nothing new there, I thought the Duke was crossing at a junction?
One call on the show made a point that the Duke wasnt indicating, and quoted an incident which happened to him 30 years ago blah blah blah.
The only good comment was about the other driver, was she driving with due care and attention.
From the callers, everyone knows all the exact details of the incident, must have crystal balls.
