"I have crossed this crossing many times and I am very familiar with the traffic that travels along this main road," wrote the Duke of Edinburgh, attributing this incident to the sunlight.
"The sun was shining down on the main road," Philip wrote. "Under normal conditions, I would have no trouble seeing the traffic coming from Dersingham, but I can only imagine that I did not see the car coming in and I am very contrite about consequences."
Fairweather told the Mirror that she remembered the weather covered, but she was grateful for the apology. The letter is dated January 21, three days after the accident.
The accident tipped the duke's car to the side. A witness later told the press association that he had helped pull Philip, a bloody man, from the vehicle.
Fairweather was a passenger in the other car, alongside the 28-year-old driver, injured knee, and a nine-month-old uninjured boy.
"I was a little shaken after the accident, but I was greatly relieved that none of you were seriously injured," added Philip. "Since then, I've learned that your arm is broken, I'm deeply sorry for this injury.
"As the crowd began to gather, a local police officer advised me to return to Sandringham House," he added.
After receiving the letter, she told the newspaper, "I find it very nice that he signed" Philip "and not the official title.I was pleasantly surprised by the personalized nature."
The incident dominated the British media and led to a public debate about whether people over a certain age should be subjected to a new driving test.
Although the queen is not required to possess a driver's license, Philip is. A royal source told CNN after the crash that the prince had a license and was following all the procedures to keep it up to date.
