Yesterday, we reported that 73-year-old Princess Anne sustained head injuries and a concussion after an incident involving a horse at her Gatcombe Park estate.
Buckingham Palace issued a statement on Monday:
“The Princess Royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate yesterday evening. Her Royal Highness remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery.”
According to The Independent, the injuries resulted from the princess being kicked by a horse.
Royal expert Michael Cole suggested the Palace might not be revealing the full extent of her condition…
“The fact the Princess Royal was detained in hospital overnight indicates that it’s not a minor matter,” Cole told Metro.
“It’s no small thing to have a concussion at any age, but at the age of 73, it could be serious.”
Anne was walking on her Gloucestershire estate on Sunday when she was kicked by a horse. Emergency services quickly responded, and after receiving initial medical care, Princess Anne was transferred to a hospital in Bristol.
It’s reported that the princess, sister to King Charles, will miss several scheduled engagements this week, including a state banquet to mark the planned Japanese state visit and a trip to Canada.
We wish Princess Anne a swift recovery and hope her condition is not more serious than the Palace has indicated. What do you think?
