Prince Philip crash victim says he hasn't apologized; parts of wrecked car briefly on sale
A woman involved in a car crash with Queen Elizabeth's 97-year-old husband, Prince Philip, says the royal family has yet to apologize to her.
"I'm lucky to be alive and he hasn’t even said sorry," Emma Fairweather told The Mirror over the weekend. "It has been such a traumatic and painful time and I would have expected more of the royal family."
Fairweather, 46, suffered a broken wrist in the collision that left Prince Philip's Land Rover overturned Thursday near the royal Sandringham estate in England. She was riding in a Kia at the time of the crash with her 28-year-old friend – who was driving – and her friend's 9-month-old baby boy. Her friend suffered minor cuts and the child was unhurt.

"It could have been so much worse," Fairweather said. "Prince Philip apparently said to a witness that it was the sun that dazzled him, but I can’t see how that could be true when it was overcast.”
On Friday, Buckingham Palace said Philip and the queen had privately contacted the people in the crash and exchanged good wishes. But, Fairweather says that's not the case.
"I still haven't had any contact from the royal household," she told the Mirror. "Maybe he should prioritize that over test-driving his new car."
The prince was photographed driving a new Land Rover (while not wearing a seatbelt) near the royal residence Saturday, just two days after the collision.
As for his old ride? Remnants of Prince Philip's damaged Land Rover reportedly popped up for sale on eBay.
The listing said the car parts left on the side of the road following the Duke of Edinburgh's crash Thursday "may even have Phil's DNA on it, if you wanted to clone him," according to BBC News. The seller, morbius777, said all the money from the online auction would go to the Cancer Research UK.
The post has since been removed from eBay over the marketplace's "policy relating to the sale of any item that seeks to profit from human suffering or tragedy," the outlet adds.
