Prince Phillip issues apology following car crash

Prince Phillip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, has issued an apology for his part in a car accident that injured the other driver.

The 97-year-old chalked the accident up to glare from the sun, which prevented him from seeing the other vehicle. The accident resulted in an injury to the passenger of the other car, Emma Fairweather, who was taken to hospital where it was discovered that she had broken her wrist. The other was also carrying a nine-month-old baby. Prince Phillip was uninjured. In a note which has now been reprinted by the BBC, he wrote:"I would like you to know how very sorry I am for my part in the accident." "In other words, the sun was shining low over the main road. In normal conditions I would have no difficulty in seeing traffic coming... but I can only imagine that I failed to see the car coming, and I am very contrite about the consequences," he wrote. "I was somewhat shaken after the accident, but I was greatly relieved that none of you were seriously injured." Prince Phillip was spotted two days after the crash, apparently driving without a seatbelt.
