Princess Michael of Kent has broken both her wrists after a fall at Kensington Palace.

The 79-year-old royal had been carrying a pile of coats, reportedly down some stairs, when she tripped.

In an interview to mark her upcoming 80th birthday, she said she had used her hands to break her fall and in the process broke a number of small bones in her wrists.

She told Majesty Magazine how the accident had affected her day-to-day life.

‘So many things that you rely on being able to do, like cleaning your teeth, are impossible,’ the princess and author said. ‘I can type with one finger on a mobile, but I can’t use a laptop.’

She added: ‘I am told that, after an accident like this, if you do one wrong movement on top of the unhealed bones, you are back where you started.’

The princess, wife of Prince Michael of Kent, also revealed she underwent heart surgery around a year ago.

‘It shocked me, I still have to rest every afternoon,’ she said.

The royal’s fall comes after the death of her son-in-law Thomas Kingston in February.

The 45-year-old financier, who was married to the prince and princess’s daughter Lady Gabriella Windsor, was found with a ‘traumatic head wound’ and a gun lying near his body, an inquest heard.

He took his own life in an ‘impulse’ decision after being prescribed a cocktail of antidepressants and sleeping pills, Lady Gabriella told the coroner.

Princess Michael attended King Charles’s pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace on Thursday with her wrists in splints.
