A crash in which the Duke of Edinburgh's car overturned was 'a shock to all concerned', reveals a letter to wellwishers.
Prince Philip has thanked members of the public who wrote to him after the accident at Babingley, near King's Lynn, on January 17.
The note, signed by the duke's correspondence secretary Suzy Lethbridge, says: 'The Duke of Edinburgh thanks you for your kind message of good wishes following the recent accident near Sandringham.
'It was a shock for all concerned. The Norfolk emergency services were quick to respond and assist those involved.'
Philip, who walked away from the crash unharmed, told passers-by who helped to pull him from the vehicle he had been blinded by the setting sun, as he turned out of the B1439 West Newton road onto the main A149 coast road between King's Lynn and Hunstanton.
Two women in the other vehicle involved, a Kia, received minor injuries, while a baby in the back seat was unharmed.
