Queen Elizabeth was threatened to be thrown out of car by Prince Philip: Here’s why

Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip, who was known to ‘drive fast’, had once threatened his wife Queen Elizabeth II to throw her out of a car.

This was disclosed by Gyles Brandreth, the royal biographer and a friend of late Prince Philip in a TV program recently.

Brandreth quoted Prince Philip’s cousin, Countess Mountbatten as saying “I have been in a car with him and I have to say he drives really well, but he can drive fast.”

He further said “He was a dynamo and he could be impatient.”

Countess Mountbatten told the royal expert that her father, Lord Mountbatten, was once driving with the Queen and Prince Philip through Cowdrey Park and Prince Philip was going too fast.

“The Queen was sort of yelping and drawing in her breath and flinching as he drove so fast.

“And Prince Philip turned to her and said, ‘Look, if you do that once more I will put you out of the car’.
