Prince Philip Finally Apologizes to the Woman He Hit with His Car
Prince Philip got into a scary car accident earlier this month, hitting another car with a passenger and a baby onboard.
The passenger broke her wrist in the collision (the baby was unscathed and the driver only got some scratches on her knees), and days after the crash she said that she still hadn't heard any sort of apology from the royals, leading her to feel "ignored and rejected."
However, Prince Philip finally did his part to make things right and sent the woman, named Emma Fairweather, a letter of apology earlier this week. The Mirror reports that Philip wrote:
Dear Mrs Fairweather,
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.
Yours sincerely,
Philip
Emma told the Mirror that she appreciates the apology, and hopefully her wrist will get better soon and Philip will be more careful while driving next time.
