After his traffic accident in East England, Prince Philip apologized to a woman who had broken her wrist. The Sunday Mirror today released a copy of a letter the 97-year-old wrote to Emma Fairweather. „I want you to know how much I regret my involvement in the accident,“ it says.
„I am very contrite“
„I can only assume that I did not see the car coming, and I am very contrite in the face of the consequences,“ continued the prince in the letter. He was „deeply sorry“ that Fairweather had broken his bones.
Prince Philip had crashed into a four-and-a-half week near the Royal Manor of Sandringham Castle in his SUV with a Kia when he turned off a side street into a main street. His Land Rover crashed to the driver’s side, the windshield broke. The Duke of Edinburgh could be recovered unhurt from the car by a rushed accident witness.
The 28-year-old Kia driver suffered cuts, her nine-month-old baby was uninjured. Fairweather sat in the car as a passenger. She complained to the Sunday Mirror a week ago that Prince Philip had not apologized to her after the accident.
