Duke should be prosecuted if found at fault, crash victim suggests

Yahoo UK News

A mother-of-two injured in the Duke of Edinburgh’s car crash has suggested he should be prosecuted if found at fault over the incident.

Public relations consultant Mark Borkowski has criticised Buckingham Palace’s handling of the situation, describing it as a “DIY PR moment”.

Speaking about the decision by the 97-year-old duke to order a new car and go driving a few days after the accident, Mr Borkowski said: “It would have been wise to just go a little bit silent on this story.

“It seems to me he had a point to prove that despite his ageing years, he loved his car and wasn’t going to stop, it was a real statement from him – business as usual.”

He added that palace officials were having to work with the determined duke: “We all have clients who want to do things in a way they want to do, they might take some advice from a PR person it doesn’t necessarily mean they get the advice, we call that situation ‘doing all the wrong things really well’.”
