Britain's Prince Philip will not face any charges over the car crash in which the 97-year-old's Land Rover flipped onto its side , the Crown Prosecution Service announced Thursday.
The Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, collided last month with another vehicle carrying two women, aged 28 and 45, as well as a nine-month old baby boy.
While the 97-year-old emerged uninjured after the accident on a public road near the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, the 28-year-old suffered cuts to her knee while the 45-year-old sustained a broken wrist. The baby boy was unhurt.
While the CPS did not identify Philip by name, the statement's details matched the prince's crash.

"We have decided that it would not be in the public interest to prosecute," it said.
Philip gave up his driver's license in the wake of the crash -- after it became clear that he could be charged over it.
