Edward Fitzalan-Howard will be organising the King's coronation.
Edward Fitzalan-Howard, the 18th Duke of Norfolk, pleaded guilty to a driving offence
The Earl Marshal, 65, was stopped by police after his BMW cut across the officers' car, going through a red light, the court was told. However, the Earl Marshal, a crossbench peer in the House of Lords, told the court he intended to argue "exceptional hardship" due to the nature of his responsibilities.
The lawyer added: "It is an extremely peculiar set of circumstances at a really crucial point in the history of this nation with the one man who was responsible for not only the funeral last week but the coronation of King Charles III."
