there was a bit of a process it was going through anyway. it seems strange going from 50 to 60 after a war that was involved. a lot of things are strange. yesterday, we heard he was uninjured but now somebody drove him out of the car he said that i was covered in his blood. and m have got the palace today saying he has no injuries of concern. today saying he has no injuries of concern. he was injured but you lied yesterday. is it lying... are not making a fuss. he was bleeding. not telling the entire truth from affirming things in a certain way. especially with somebody has to been at fault in this accident. and he rang them up today to wish them well. somebody has him a well wishes have been exchanged. they are not any of the papers yet, are they? he said there is a lot of guesswork going on here. every real story is
10:42 pm
mostly guesswork, which is why i hate will stories and after right for them. filled back on the road, a replacement car has been delivered after that. it must‘ve been pretty damaged because it flipped over.l little embarrassing this picture to come out straightaway because of it was you or i and- come out straightaway because of it was you or i and i l come out straightaway because of it was you oriand i car to be on your. for it. it will be on your drive for weeks. are the same expectations applied here? it is not like you or ican applied here? it is not like you or i can move would not get this chance. if they are on the road, they should be driving as safely as we are. the rules of the road are the same. you can as a people who this is happened to come of the others involved in this, if they see his car has turned up and have his personal play on it so it is his car... it is £130,000 of especially

improved and fortified royal land rover. it drives on his own a p pa re ntly rover. it drives on his own apparently without any protections. there are questions to be asked would like you say, people in the other car, they have a child in a very serious accident, they are probably quite shaken up. their car is going to be going through an insurance process and the necessity. they will have various police investigations and questions to ask and so on and so forth. they now have the pressure... will there be a proper investigation? they now have this unspoken pressure the person they're talking about is royal and they're talking about is royal and they also have all the pressure of they also have all the pressure of the world's desperate to talk to them. and his free car is back straightaway. maybe they are someone who relies on the car for work and cannot work. magically, if you are involved in a crash of the duke of edinburgh, you may get that back very quickly. maybe the insurance will be helped out. i do not want to
