Royal family member gets hospitalised after sustaining injuries

The Royal Family has faced its share of challenges and unexpected events.

From health-related concerns to speculations about their bonds, royal watchers' eyes are peeled for the latest happenings.

The latest incident involved the Princess Royal herself—Princess Anne.


Buckingham Palace confirmed in a statement that Princess Anne was hospitalised following an incident at her Gloucestershire home.

The incident, which occurred on a quiet Sunday evening at Gatcombe Park, resulted in minor injuries and a concussion for the Princess.

'She remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation,' the released statement wrote.

Her husband and two children, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips were at the property during the incident and immediately assisted the Princess.

At 73 years old, Princess Anne is known for her robust health and active lifestyle.

The Palace did not disclose other details regarding the incident.

However, speculations said it could involve one of the horses at the estate—which also serves as a venue for Princess Anne's equestrian activities.


In light of the Princess's condition, doctors advised a postponement of her royal engagements for the week.

These engagements included a visit to Canada, where she would have participated in a ceremony at a war memorial in Newfoundland.

She will be absent at the scheduled State banquet for The Emperor and Empress of Japan.

The Emperor and Empress of Japan were visiting Britain for diplomatic activities.


The Palace also disclosed Princess Anne's condition to King Charles III.

'The King has been informed and joins the whole Royal Family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to the Princess for a speedy recovery,' the statement ended.

As we await further updates on her condition, we remember the Princess's dedication to her royal duties and her passion for equestrian.

We wish Princess Anne a speedy and complete recovery.
