THE Queen will be annoyed after Prince Philip's car crash and is set to tell him "this is enough", a Royal insider has claimed today.
The Duke of Edinburgh, 97, was yesterday pulled from his overturned Land Rover after colliding with a Kia carrying two women and a baby.
Ingrid Seward, Editor in Chief of Majesty Magazine, told Good Morning Britain: "The Queen will certainly be telling him off as Prince Philip has always been a very fast driver.
"And in fact just before he married Princess Elizabeth, I think in the August of that year, he bought himself an MG sports car which is one of those wonderful two seater open cars.
"He used to drive at great speed and he's had a few accidents over the years.
"I think it will be the Queen [who tells him to stop driving], I suspect his children and grandchildren will chime in and say enough is enough we don't want to lose you like this.
"It will be the Queen, she'll be the only one who can really tell him.
"And I'm sure she'll be very annoyed with him, obviously sympathetic but will be saying 'now Philip, this is enough'."
I suddenly realised it was Prince Philip.

Witness Roy Warne, 75, : “It was frightening to see."
Mr Warne also told how Prince Philip said he was “dazzled by the sun” at a T-junction before his Land Rover hit another car carrying a mother and baby.
He said The Duke of Edinburgh was pulled from the wreckage “conscious” but “very, very shocked and shaken”.
Prince Philip was breathalysed by police following the horrific smash.
Barrister Roy, 75, who was first at the scene, helped to free the “disorientated” royal from his motor, which had overturned.
He heard the Duke later admit to cops he had been “dazzled by the sun”.
Roy was driving home with his wife Victoria, 72, shortly before 3pm and saw the Land Rover flip a split-second after the collision.
Prince Philip was trapped inside and told rescuers: “My legs! Where should I put my legs?”
It is believed the Land Rover drove out from a T-junction on Queen Elizabeth Way and was struck by a Kia people carrier with two women and a ten-month-old screaming baby inside.
The driver of the blue Kia told Victoria: “That could have been a disaster.”
Roy said the Land Rover “came across the A149 like a somersault. It was turning on its side over and over”. He added: “It was frightening to see a powerful car rolling like that.
“I rushed to the other car — there was smoke coming out as if it may explode. There was a baby in the back seat screaming.
“Once myself and another chap had managed to pull the baby out, I went to the overturned car.
“There was one inside and I tugged at the smashed windscreen and sun roof to try and get the driver out.
“He was lying on his side and his legs were down in the well of the car. I asked him to lift his left leg as his legs were trapped, and he said ‘Where to?’
“I suddenly realised it was Prince Philip."
Buckingham Palace said the Duke was not injured but had seen a doctor as a precaution.
One of the women in the other car suffered a suspected broken arm, the other had an injured knee. The baby boy was miraculously unharmed.
A spokesman for Norfolk Police confirmed said: “The male driver of the Land Rover was uninjured.
“The female driver of the Kia suffered cuts while the female passenger sustained an arm injury, both requiring hospital treatment.
“We can confirm both casualties have been treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn and have since been discharged.
“It is force policy to breath test drivers involved in collisions. We can confirm both drivers were tested and provided negative readings.”
