Prince Philip was recently involved in a car crash where he walked away without a scratch, but left the other driver with an injury.
Following allegations by the victim of a police coverup due to his royal status (wouldn’t be the first time!), the 97-year-old sent an apology to Emma Fairweather, published in the Sunday Mirror.

The letter reads:
“I would like you to know how very sorry I am for my part in the accident at the Babingley cross-roads.
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. 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.
I was somewhat shaken after the accident, but I was greatly relieved that none of you were seriously injured. As a crowd was beginning to gather, I was advised to return to Sandringham House by a local Police Officer. I have since learned that you suffered a broken arm. I am deeply sorry about this injury.
I wish you a speedy recovery from a very distressing experience.”
The apology was typed, but addressed to and signed by the Prince in blue ink, dated the day after Emma says she had yet to hear from the authorities or palace after the accident.
What do you think of the apology? And should he be allowed to drive anymore? Sound OFF with your thoughts (below)!
