The Duke of Edinburgh was photographed driving a new Land Rover without the seat belt , which is required on a public road.

A Norfolk Constabulary spokeswoman said police were aware of the photos and that "suitable words of advice have been given to the driver."

She added: "This is in line with our standard response when being made aware of, or receiving such images showing this type of offense."

The Duke of Edinburgh was warned by police after being spotted driving without a seat belt after crashing his car earlier in the week at Sandringham.

According to Britain's Press Association, the photographs showed Philip wearing dark glasses and no seat belt near Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, eastern England.
