Debris from Prince Philip’s car crash site is now for sale on eBay for over €70,000.

The parts, pictured as some smashed windscreen (not included) and an assortment of unknown car fixtures, come from the road near the Queen’s Sandringham estate where the Duke’s car collided with another vehicle and overturned last week.

The prince was unhurt in the accident, but two women were hospitalised.

A baby had also been present in the other car.

Debris from the incident appeared on eBay yesterday with a starting bid of £65,900. The seller specified that all proceeds of the bid would go to charity.

The condition of the debris is list as “used.”

“Prince Philip car crash parts from the crash site in Sandringham, Norfolk,” reads the description. “Condition is used. Parts are probably not reusable. Parts are clearly visible in many of the online videos of the event.”

The seller then added: “May even have Phil’s DNA on it, if you wanted to clone him or anything.”

The prince said the sun “dazzled” him moments before the incident. He was spotted two days later driving near the same area in a replacement car without a seatbelt.

He has yet to apologise to the women he hospitalised.

The bid for the crash debris ends in five days.
