A mum who broke her wrist in a car crash with Prince Philip has said she wants the royal to be ‘prosecuted or give up his licence’. Emma Fairweather, 46, added she had not yet received an apology from the duke, even though it would ‘mean the world’ to her. Ms Fairweather was travelling with her friend in the Kia that was in collision with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Land Rover on Thursday.
She told the Sunday Mirror she had heard nothing from Buckingham Palace, despite officials saying that contact had been made and ‘well wishes exchanged.’
Emma said: ‘I’m lucky to be alive and he hasn’t even said sorry. ‘It has been such a traumatic and painful time and I would have expected more of the Royal Family. The mum-of-two said she was unhappy with how the incident has been dealt with by police and Buckingham Palace.
Her words came as the duke was spotted back behind the wheel of a new car, driving without his seatbelt. She added: ‘I think he should be treated the same as anyone else. How could you say no to prosecuting him if he’s broken the law?’ Emma said her friend suffered cuts to her knee. A nine-month-old baby boy was unhurt in the accident.
‘I still haven’t had any contact from the Royal household’, she continued. ‘Maybe he should prioritise that over test driving his new car.’ ‘It would mean the world to me if Prince Philip said sorry but I have no idea if he’s sorry at all.’ Norfolk police are still investigating the crash on Thursday and said ‘appropriate action will be taken’. Drivers who are found guilty of careless driving can face imprisonment or have their licence revoked.
