Prince Philip's days behind the wheel have come to an end.

According to The Associated Press, the 97-year-old British royal announced Saturday that he is giving up his driver's license just weeks after his wreck in eastern England.

"After careful consideration, the Duke of Edinburgh has taken the decision to voluntarily surrender his driving license," Buckingham Palace said Saturday.
