A photographer has been injured by Prince Harry’s car in central London in the early hours of Sunday morning, Feb. 27.

The prince spent Saturday night out at Beaufort House on the Kings Road with a friend celebrating England’s win against France in the Six Nations rugby tournament.

He left the venue in a Royal people carrier, but as the car sped off it took Tony Margiocchi, one of the waiting photographers with it, dragging him under the left front wheel.

Margiocchi had been attempting to photograph Prince Harry sitting in the back of the vehicle. An eye witness watched his leg being driven over, leaving tyre marks on his trousers.

His camera was strewn onto the pavement and the Royal car did not stop, leaving the photographer lying on the ground, screaming in agony.

An ambulance and police were called to the scene, where the photographer was lifted onto a stretcher after some roadside treatment and taken away in an ambulance with a leg injury.

Margiocchi has since been hospitalised with a broken tibia and is having pins put into his leg.

Buckingham Palace officials have confirmed that the Royal car hit someone around 2 a.m. local time.
