00:00Prince Philip's strategy for sneaking out of Buckingham Palace revealed
00:03Prince Philip had a unique strategy for sneaking out of Buckingham Palace.
00:09Princess Diana's butler, Paul Burrell, revealed just how Prince Philip was able to enjoy drives outside of the palace walls.
00:16They have a people carrier that seats about 12 people, and they tag that onto processions for minor royals and household staff.
00:23Burrell told Coach Hopp,
00:24They will go to the venue in that vehicle, which you often see at state occasions, Paul Burrell continued.
00:31It was there for Kate and William's wedding, and it was there for the Queen's funeral.
00:35The royal family's van made it obvious that a member of the family was in the car,
00:39but Prince Philip had a strategy for going incognito in traffic.
00:43Prince Philip had a converted London taxi as well, Paul Burrell shared.
00:47It was converted to electric, and very often it was parked by what we called the Prince of Wales luggage door in the quadrangle.
00:54He would go out in that with his personal protection office into the crowd, and nobody would recognize him,
01:00Paul Burrell explained about Prince Philip, who was an avid driver until he voluntarily surrendered his license in 2019.
01:07If they did go to a big wedding and there was a coach transfer, they would probably get on.
01:12It's the easiest way for them to get to A to B in a large number of people, he continued.
