The Queen Has "Pleaded" with Prince Philip to Stop Driving But He's a "Law Unto Himself"
Prince Philip, man who is literally 97, got into a rather serious car accident last week, and while thankfully no one was seriously injured, it's raised a lot of questions about...well...WTF he's still doing driving.
Considering everyone in the entire world is collectively side-eyeing the Prince for his decision to get back behind the wheel just days after his crash, you might be wondering how The Queen feels about this whole thing. And the answer is:
In fact, Her Majesty has "pleaded" with Philip to stop driving, but-in the immortal words of Miley Cyrus–he can't stop, and he won't stop.
"Philip is a law unto himself," a source told Vanity Fair reporter Katie Nicholl. "The Queen and Prince Charles have pleaded with him to stop driving on public roads. Charles particularly thinks it’s too dangerous but Philip won’t be told. He loves the freedom he gets from being on the road, and he doesn’t want to be driven around."
That said, while Queen Elizabeth has asked Philip to stop driving, she hasn't forced him to. And there's a big difference. "There is really only one person he listens to and that’s the Queen," the source adds. "And while I know she has had words in the past, I’m not sure she would ever insist he stops driving."
Oof.
