Duke Of Edinburgh in Carriage Accident

His Ponies Ran Away! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Prince Philip was hurt but did not need hospital treatment when his carriage hit a tree stump, Buckingham Palace said.

A spokeswoman said the accident occurred as a result of ponies leading the carriage "running away".

She said: "The Duke has a minor injury to his ankle and did not need hospital treatment. He has been out and about as normal this afternoon.

"The female groom who was with the Duke has been to hospital for diagnosis for an injury to her elbow. The ponies pulling the carriage were recovered unharmed."

The Duke, 88, was forced to miss engagements last year because of a back injury sustained while driving a horse and carriage.

Earlier this month, the Duchess of Cornwall broke her left leg while hillwalking in Scotland.

Camilla suffered a twisted fracture of her left fibula when she slipped.
