Retweeting a news headline about 'the four words Philip said' after he emerged from the crash, Burke suggested they were 'w*****s will defend me'.
She also retweeted a message about the Prime Minister's message to Philip, which said: '"The whole country admires your resilience but it's probably time to admit you can't really steer the damn thing any more", wrote the Duke of Edinburgh in reply.'
Prince Philip's car accident, near to Queen's Sandringham estate yesterday afternoon, left two people needing hospital treatment.
He was not injured in the accident, which happened as he drove a Land Rover out of a driveway onto the A149.
The other car involved was a Kia. Two women in it needed hospital treatment - they have since been discharged from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn. A nine-month-old baby was unhurt.

Elizabeth O'Mahoney replied: 'Not being facetious, but we don’t really know what happened. He might be a completely competent driver for all we know.'
Another of her followers, called Kes, wrote: 'I'll wait for the facts before making such a damning comment and never see the need for being that derogatory about anyone.'
Another Twitter user commented simply: 'That's the OBE out of the window, love.'
