More than a week after the car crash that left a woman with a broken wrist, the Duke of Edinburgh has written a letter of apology.

The letter was dated 21st of this month one day after victim Emma Fairweather told the British press that Prince Philip had not reached out to apologise after his Land Rover clattered into her friend's car ‑ with the friend's baby in the vehicle as well.

Her public complaint seemed to have the desired effect, with the Queen's husband penning the apology letter the following day.

Fairweather said she received it on the 23rd of this month before it was published.
