Princess Anne Hospitalized for Head Injury: Horses Suspected
Princess Anne is in a hospital after suffering minor injuries and a concussion “following an incident” at her Gatcombe Park estate over the weekend, Buckingham Palace announced Monday.
The 73-year-old is being kept in the hospital “as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery” following the incident on Sunday evening, the palace said in a statement. King Charles III has been kept “closely informed” and “joins the whole Royal Family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to the princess for a speedy recovery,” the statement added.
The Princess Royal, Charles’ only sister, is believed to have suffered head injuries consistent with an impact from a horse’s legs or head, according to a royal source. She was walking in the grounds of her estate in southwest England at the time and horses were nearby when Anne was hurt, the source added.
