Prosecutor Farley Turner reportedly said: “Because Mrs Tindall already has nine points on her licence she was unable to accept a fixed penalty for this offence.” 

According the Gov.uk, drivers can be disqualified from driving if they build up 12 or more penalty points within a three-year period.

Despite receiving the driving ban, the young royal still appears to be in good spirits as she continues her visit Down Under with hubby Mike Tindall.
