Princess Anne is being treated for a head injury at Southmead Hospital in Bristol, England.
She sustained a concussion from an incident at Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.
The palace said King Charles III had been informed about his sister's condition and recovery.
Princess Anne is receiving treatment in a hospital for a head injury, Buckingham Palace said on Monday.
The king's sister, 73, "sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident" at her home in Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire, England, the palace said.
"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 statement added.
It said King Charles III had been "closely informed" about the incident.
A source close to the family told Business Insider that Anne's injuries may have been caused by a horse, as her injuries were consistent with the impact caused by a horse's legs or head.
The palace said in a follow-up statement that Anne's royal engagements for the week would be postponed. A source said the princess' scheduled trip to Canada at the end of the week would be rescheduled.
In an interview with CBC News in 2023, Anne said a slimmed-down monarchy didn't "sound like a good idea" considering there were fewer royals around to carry out engagements.
