Prince Philip breaks silence over THAT car crash

Prince Philip has apologised to the mother injured in his recent car crash.

Emma Fairweather, 46, broke her wrist when the Kia she was travelling in hit a Land Rover being driven by the Queen’s consort near Sandringham.

Crash victim

In a signed note, Philip says he was “shaken” by the event and was “deeply sorry”.

“I would like you to know how very sorry I am for my part in the accident at the Babingley cross-roads,” the letter reads, according to the Sunday Mirror.

Prince Philip

“I have been across that crossing any number of times and I know very well the amount of traffic that uses that main road.

"It was a bright sunny day and at about three in the afternoon, the sun was low over the Wash.

Prince Philip

“In other words, the sun was shining low over the main road."

"In normal conditions I would have no difficulty in seeing traffic coming from the Dersingham direction, but I can only imagine that I failed to see the car coming, and I am very contrite about the consequences."

Prince Philip

Norfolk Police are continuing their investigation into the crash, which happened on the A149 shortly before 3pm last Thursday near the Queen’s Sandringham estate, when Philip drove his Land Rover Freelander on to the busy A-road.
