Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, has been admitted to Southmead Hospital in Bristol after sustaining minor injuries and a concussion on her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire. Buckingham Palace confirmed that the 73-year-old royal is expected to make a full and swift recovery.
The Princess remains in the hospital as a precautionary measure for observation. The King has been kept closely informed and, along with the entire Royal Family, extends his fondest love and well-wishes for her speedy recovery.
The exact cause of the injury remains unconfirmed, though it is understood to be consistent with a potential impact from a horse’s head or legs. Princess Anne had been scheduled to visit Canada later this week, where she was set to participate in a ceremony at a war memorial in Newfoundland.
Recently, during the D-Day commemorations, Princess Anne met with veterans and their families at the Bayeux War Cemetery in France. Known for her dedication, she is one of the most hardworking royals, regularly carrying out numerous engagements.
