Prince Philip crash debris AUCTIONED on eBay – and bids are at £66K
DEBRIS from Prince Philip’s crash involving a mother and her baby are being auctioned on eBay with bids reaching almost £66,000.
Pieces of damaged metal and plastic which the seller claims were left by the roadside near the scene of the smash are up for grabs in a listing titled ‘Prince Philip Car Crash Parts’. The seller listed the condition of the pieces as ‘used’ and said all funds raised will go to Cancer Research. It has so far attracted more than 100 bids and reached £65,900. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Land Rover flipped onto its side after it collided with a Kia near the Queen’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk last Thursday. The 97-year-old was pulled from the wreckage bleeding but uninjured.
The seller wrote: “Parts are probably not reusable. May even have Phil’s DNA on it, if you wanted to clone him or anything.
“These items are not stolen, they have been left at the roadside for way too long. It amazes me that they weren’t cleaned up on the day. So, as opportunists do, I tidied them up.
“There’s no financial gain in this for me. All proceeds going to charity. ALL OF THEM.
“It’s a bit of fun and Cancer Research get to benefit. Haters lighten up.
Two women were hospitalised after the horror smash last Thursday but a nine-month-old baby boy escaped injury.
Mother-of-two Emma Fairweather suffered a broken wrist in the crash and said the Duke has still not apologised to her.
Instead she was delivered a message from the Queen and Prince Philip which said: “The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh would like to be remembered to you” - a statement she has struggled to make sense of.
It was claimed the Prince may have been ‘dazzled’ by the afternoon sun but the 46-year-old said it was cloudy at the time of the accident.
Ms Fairweather, who was travelling in the Kia with her 28-year-old friend and her baby, told the Sunday Mirror: “I’m lucky to be alive and he hasn’t even said sorry.
“It has been a traumatic and painful time and I would have more of the Royal Family.”
Two days after the horror crash the Duke, 97, was pictured driving a new Freelander Land Rover without a seatbelt on the Queen’s Sandringham estate.
A spokeswoman for Norfolk Constabulary said the force was aware of the photographs and added that “suitable words of advice have been given to the driver”.
On Saturday the royal passed a police eye test, a source confirmed.
