Princess Anne hospitalised with minor injuries and a concussion after incident

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Princess Anne, 73, has been hospitalised following an injury at her home in Gloucestershire. The Princess Royal sustained minor injuries and a concussion on Sunday evening.

While it's not yet confirmed exactly what happened, it's believed Anne was walking in her Gatcombe Park estate when it occurred. The injuries are believed to be consistent with the potential impact of a horse's legs or head.

She was taken to the hospital by emergency services, with Buckingham Palace sharing in a statement: "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.

"The King 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."

Anne's husband, Sir Tim Laurence, and their children, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips were with her on the estate at the time of the incident.

While Anne is known as one of the hardest-working royals, she will be forced to take a break while she recovers.
