A woman involved in a car accident with Prince Philip where his Range Rover was turned over has spoken out about the ordeal, after the royal was spotted back behind the wheel following clearance by doctors.
He previously claimed the accident was caused by him being “dazzled by the sun.”
45-year-old Emily Fairweather was a passenger caught up in the collision and revealed to The Mirror that she “couldn’t stop screaming” as the event unfolded.
The mum-of-two was travelling in a Kia, driven by her friend with the driver’s nine month old baby also in the car.
“I’m lucky to be alive and he hasn’t even said sorry,” said Fairweather, whose arm is currently in a cast from a wrist fracture from the accident. She also revealed she may need surgery.
“It has been such a traumatic and painful time and I would have expected more of the Royal Family,” she continued.
Revealing the terrifying crash happened “in slow motion”, Fairweather details how the Duke’s Land Rover came out of the side of the road and collided with her friend’s car.
Officials have previously said that Buckingham Palace had contacted the victims “privately and well wishes exchanged”, but Fairweather has denied this, saying she hadn’t received an apology from any royal member.
“I love the royals but I’ve been ignored and rejected and I’m in a lot of pain,” she said.
“It would mean the world to me if Prince Philip said sorry but I have no idea if he’s sorry at all. What would it have taken for him and the Queen to send me a card and a bunch of flowers?”
“I was just advised not to speak to anyone and told to expect a call from the Palace yesterday,” she continued. “Instead, I got a call from a police family liaison officer. The message he passed on didn’t even make sense. He said, ‘The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh would like to be remembered to you.’ That’s not an apology or even a well-wish.”
The shock claim comes after the Duke was spotted back behind the wheel of his new Range Rover, allegedly without a seatbelt.
