Prince Philip has been feeling the strain since his car smash, royal insiders claim.
The Duke suffered only minor injuries in the accident but has been struggling since, they say.
In a letter to a mom injured in the crash 11 days ago, he conceded: “I was somewhat shaken after the accident.”

“The truth is away from public eyes this has shaken him really badly — as it would anyone.”
Philip, 97, crashed his Land Rover as he pulled on to the busy A149 near the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk.

Her nine-month-old son was unhurt but passenger Emma Fairweather, 46, broke her arm.
