Prince Philip will face no further legal action over his Land Rover crash near Sandringham last month, prosecutors have confirmed today.
The Duke of Edinburgh, 97, voluntarily gave up his driving licence after his collision on the A149 that left two women in hospital on January 17.
But today the Chief Crown Prosecutor for the area has confirmed he will not be pursued by police as a prosecution is 'not in the public interest'.
CPS bosses say the decision was based on his age and choice to surrender his licence.

Miraculously the Duke escaped uninjured when his 4x4 hit an oncoming Kia last month.
The crash left the 28-year-old female driver with minor injuries and passenger Emma Fairweather, 46, with a broken wrist.
A nine-month-old toddler also travelling into the Kia was uninjured.
He faced mounting pressure to forfeit his licence and sparked outrage when he was seen behind the wheel just two days after the crash.
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.'
The decision was made after considering all the evidence submitted by the police and in accordance with the two stage test in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
Despite no longer having his licence, he will still be allowed to drive on the grounds of the numerous royal estates and on private land.

But today ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
