Presumably he can still drive around the many royal estates?
Yep, he can still drive on private ground.
And no doubt will .
If I were him, I would still drive around on my estate if I wanted to.

Might need to set a geozone in case he ventures 'abroad'.
He can also still venture onto the highway with his pony and trap , which requires no licence .
I was also bemused that he reportedly handed the licence into police , when it should go back to DVLA to be cancelled .

Or contrite at causing an accident and realisation he shouldn't be driving on public roads any more?
Either way, a wise decision. Let him cause havoc on the Royal estates instead.

I don't mean the decision, more the method.

Norfolk Police confirmed that the duke had surrendered his licence to officers and it would now be returned to the DVLA. The investigation file for the collision has been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service, which said it would take the latest development into account.
I would suggest that surrendering his licence to the police was possibly at the suggestion from the police or the crown prosecution service decision as to whether he would be charged with a road trafffic offence or not. The fact that someone was injured is usually a strong indicator for prosecution if an offence was deemed to have been committed.
Police and CPS Relations | The Crown Prosecution Service
see the section on
Pre-Charge Advice and Charge Decision
The referral to the CPS for a Decision whether to charge a suspect is sometimes referred to as Pre-Charge Advice. This is the most frequent interaction between the police and CPS. It is governed by the Director’s Guidance on Charging, elsewhere in the Legal Guidance, The Guidance is issued under the provisions of section 37A of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) and sets out arrangements prescribed by the Director of Public Prosecutions for the joint working of police officers and prosecutors during the investigation and prosecution of criminal cases.
On occasion a case referred to the CPS may require further evidence to be obtained before a charge decision can be made. In such circumstances the Prosecutor will advise the officer of the further material required in order to obtain a charging decision.

Sounds sensible.
Well , we probably wouldn’t want to see Phil up in court vs his missus - too much like a domestic.

Probably for the best. The last family squabble among that lot got somewhat out of hand and lasted four years, from 1914 to 1918.
