Prince William and Kate Middleton made headlines for the posh ensembles they wore to Royal Ascot earlier this week, but now we’re learning that the event wasn’t as fun as it appeared.
The Telegraph reports that there was an accident involving the royal convey and a pedestrian.
An elderly British woman was hospitalized after Prince William and Middleton's police escort collided into her.
