Archbishop caught speeding

JUST days after crowning a new king, the archbishop of Canterbury was convicted of speeding.

On Wednesday, May 10, Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby was convicted in a private hearing for breaking the speed limit, as well as three penalty points on his licence. He also has to foot a whopping £510 bill for legal fees, according to a news source.

This comes just days after the eyes of the world saw the 67 ­ year ­ old Church of England leader conduct the historic coronation of King Charles III.

The incident occurred on October 2, 2022, when he was clocked by a speed camera, driving along the Albert Embankment, central London in his VW Golf towards Lambeth Palace.

After the camera footage was assessed, the Metropolitan Police contacted the archbishop, who confessed he was behind the wheel at the time.

The speed limit along the embankment is 20mph, which was imposed three years ago, and his Grace was spotted doing 25mph.
