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.
00:08Princess Diana's butler, Paul Burel, revealed just how Prince Philip was able to enjoy drives outside of the palace walls.
00:16They, the royal family, have a people carrier that seats about 12 people, and they tag that onto processions for minor royals and household staff, Paul Burel told Coach Hop.
00:27They will go to the venue in that vehicle, which you often see at state occasions, Paul Burel continued.
00:34It was there for Kate and William's wedding, and it was there for the Queen's funeral.
00:38The royal family's van made it obvious that a member of the family was in the car, but Prince Philip had a strategy for going incognito in traffic.
00:46Prince Philip had a converted London taxi as well, Paul Burel shared.
00:50It was converted to electric, and very often it was parked by what we called the Prince of Wales luggage door in the quadrangle.
00:58He would go out in that with his personal protection office into the crowd, and nobody would recognize him, Paul Burel explained about Prince Philip, who was an avid driver until he voluntarily surrendered his license in 2019.
01:10If they did go to a big wedding and there was a coach transfer, they would probably get on.
01:15It's the easiest way for them to get from A to B with a large number of people, he continued.
