MEGHAN Markle will have millions of people watching her arrive at Windsor Castle on May 19 - when she ties the knot with Prince Harry - but what car will the royal-to-be arrive in? Bookies are taking odds for the former suits star to rock up in a “vehicle with an Uber sticker on”.

NOTTINGHAM

A cabbie was left with a £200 bill for picking up two undercover police officers outside the Queen's Medical Centre.

Shaju Thomas, 49, was only licensed to operate in Gedling and not within the city boundaries, Nottingham magistrates heard.

Judith Kirkham, prosecuting, told the court: "This is a prevalent offence and the police, together with the city council, have undercover operations for taxi drivers plying for hire without a licence.

"Mr Thomas is licensed for Gedling but was stopped outside the QMC. Two officers, who were working undercover, were there.

"He asked whether they wanted to go into the city centre. He accepted the fare," added Miss Kirkham.

A £135 fine was ordered for Thomas of Pastures Avenue, Clifton. He admitted plying for hire on Derby Road when not licensed as a public hackney carriage vehicle.

Magistrates ordered him to pay £35 prosecution costs and a government surcharge of £30.

He told the court: "Someone asked me for a lift into town. I agreed. It is my mistake, the lady was standing there.

"I will never do it again," added Thomas.

Presiding magistrate Dr Keith Dykes, who sat with two colleagues, said the fine had been reduced because he immediately pleaded guilty.

He was given a fortnight to pay the £200 and was told by Dr Dykes: "If you don't pay the court has other options. That includes seizing some of your possessions and selling them."

At the end of the hearing, he was asked if he understood everything that had taken place. "Yes sir," he replied.
