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 mysterious 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 of the incident, and horses were also nearby when Anne was hurt, the source added.
