Princess Anne released from hospital after treatment for horse accident

Theo

London:

Princess Anne, the sister of Britain’s King Charles III, has been released from hospital where she was being treated for a concussion she suffered after being hit by a horse at her country estate.

Anne, 73, suffered a concussion and minor head injuries at Gatcombe Park in southwest England on Sunday evening and was taken to hospital in Bristol.

It is believed that she was hit by a horse while she was within the protected area of ​​the sprawling property where equestrian events take place.

The princess’s medical team said at the time that her injuries suggested a possible impact with the head or legs of a horse.

The Princess Royal, as she is also called, is a talented equestrian who competed in the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal and has a reputation for being the hardest working member of the royal family.

She has represented Charles when he postponed public appearances due to his cancer treatment and rode in his official birthday parade earlier this month.

However, the accident forced her to cancel her appearance at a state banquet on Tuesday evening to mark the visit of Japanese Emperor Naruhito and also to cancel an upcoming trip to Canada.

Her husband Tim Laurence was seen leaving Southmead Hospital in Bristol earlier this week after visiting his wife.

He thanked the medical team at Southmead Hospital “for their care, expertise and kindness during my wife’s short stay”.

Buckingham Palace said on Monday that Anne was “in hospital for observation as a precautionary measure” and is expected to make a full and speedy recovery.
