By AFPMore by this AuthorLONDON,Queen Elizabeth II's 97-year-old husband Prince Philip on Saturday surrendered his driving licence after causing a car crash that outraged the media and stirred a debate about old age and driving. "After careful consideration the Duke of Edinburgh has taken the decision to voluntarily surrender his driving licence," Buckingham Palace said in a brief statement. 'MEDIA CRITICISM'A witness told British media that Philip had emerged unharmed but "shocked and shaken" from the collision with the much smaller Kia hatchback. Philip came under days of media criticism for failing to quickly and publicly apologise for causing the crash. The same witness said Philip had told police he was "blinded by the sun" when he turned onto the road without seeing the oncoming car.
