Prince William was reportedly caught talking about Princess Anne’s accident that left her hospitalized – Watch Video

Princess Anne had a terrible accident last month and spent several days in hospital after being flown by helicopter from her home in Gatcombe Park.

Not much is known about the incident, except that Anne “suffered minor injuries and a concussion” after possibly being hit by a horse while walking on her property.

In this week’s episode of A Right Royal Podcast, hosts Andrea Caamano, Emmy Griffiths and HELLO!’s royal editor Emily Nash speak to Sky’s royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills about the latest royal news, including the incident involving the Princess Royal that forced her to step away from royal duties for a while while she continues her recovery.

In the episode, which you can listen to above, Rhiannon talks about the days after the hospital stay and recalls a video you can watch below. It was taken during the state visit honoring the Emperor and Empress of Japan and appears to show Prince William speaking to the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh about what exactly happened to Anne.

“I don’t know if you noticed this because you might not have seen the footage, but on the State Visit, there was the moment when the King and Queen were showing the Emperor and Empress various things from the Royal Collection, and over their shoulders I looked at the footage and you could see this little group, which was the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince William in the middle, and they seemed to be having this quite intense conversation,” Rhiannon explained, before adding: “Then suddenly Prince William almost slapped himself in the face, and I thought, ‘Oh, wait a minute, they were talking about Anne.’ Well, look, I didn’t confirm it, but it was literally the day after. It looked quite like they had been talking about it.”
