Emma Fairweather, 46, suffered a broken wrist in the horror crash near Sandringham on Thursday - but claims she was not contacted by the Royals until Saturday
A WOMAN injured in a crash with Prince Philip was told to "keep quiet" more than "ten times" according to reports.
Emma Fairweather, 46, suffered a broken wrist in the collision on Thursday - and says her arm will never fully mend.
It has since emerged that Emma came under intense pressure to "keep quiet" after the crash.
She was allegedly urged "more than ten times" by police to be discreet, according to the .
She received a call from one of Her Majesty's most trusted aides to "pass on the Queen's good wishes", the reported.
But the Duke of Edinburgh has allegedly not reached out to apologise for his role in the horror smash - which resulted in his Land Rover somersaulting across the road.
The Queen, 92, instructed her lady-in-waiting Mary Morrison to contact the two women in the other car who were with a nine-month-old baby.
Attempts to call them were not made until Saturday - at least 48 hours later.
Emma, from King's Lynn, Norfolk, was passed on Her Maj's “warmest good wishes following the accident”.
But she claims there was no message from Prince Philip - or even a mention of the 97-year-old Duke.
A voicemail message from Ms Morrison, 81, said: "Hello, I’m ringing from Sandringham House.
“The Queen has asked me to telephone you to pass on her warmest good wishes following the accident and Her Majesty is very eager to know how you are and hope that everything is going as well as can be expected.
“We’re all thinking of you very much at Sandringham and I’ll try you at a later date.
"Unfortunately I’ve got to go out quite shortly but I hope all is well as can be expected for you. Thank you very much indeed. Goodbye.”
A palace source told the paper that the Queen's decision to have Ms Morrison contact the women was of "huge significance" as she is one of her most trusted counsels.
But Emma, who turned 46 today, said she had felt “ignored and rejected” by the Royals before being contacted.
And she insists that Prince Philip should have taken responsibility to contact her.
She told the : "While it’s nice the Queen has seen it may be appropriate to ask one of her staff to contact me and wish me well, she wasn’t involved in the accident.
“I’m still quite surprised that Prince Philip hasn’t felt he wants to contact me and inquire as to how I am."
The doctor said it would never be 100 per cent how it was before the accident

The single mum was a passenger in her 28-year-old friend Ellie Townsend's Kia hatchback when the serious collision happened on the A149 near Sandringham at 3pm on Thursday.
They both required hospital treatment - with doctors warning that Emma could need surgery on her wrist.
Her pal, who does not wish to be named, was treated for cuts to her knee while the friend's baby son was checked over and allowed home.
A relative told The Sun that teacher Ellie had suffered “a traumatic ordeal" - and that she and her son were "lucky to be alive".
The family-member added: “It’s scary to think what could have happened.
“She’s just still very shaken and wants to spend time with her son and husband Shaun. The pair of them are lucky to be alive.
“They are doing as well as can be expected after a traumatic event."
But the committed Royalist changed her mind on Friday when the palace issued a statement claiming "well-wishes" had been "exchanged".
A friend said: "She is very loyal to the Royal Family but she had genuinely imagined that just a little bit more consideration could have been shown towards her."
Philip was given the all-clear by medics and was behind the wheel again on Saturday.
He was seen not wearing his seat-belt as he drove his replacement Land Rover, leading police to get in contact to "offer words of advice".
Of her injury, Emma said: "The doctor said it would never be 100 per cent how it was before the accident.
"It’s a weakness I will always have and it’s very difficult to accept."
Discussions are said to be ongoing over asking fiercely independent Philip to hand over his driving license.
Norfolk police, whose officers breathalysed both drivers who tested negative, are investigating.
