Princess Anne discharged from hospital after 5 days of treatment for head injuries

Princess Anne has returned home after spending a total of five days in the hospital with head injuries following a horse-related incident last weekend.

The Princess Royal, 73, was concussed and experienced subsequent memory loss after she was struck by a horse on the grounds of her Gatcombe Park estate.

The royal — who is King Charles’ only sister — arrived home Friday morning where she’s expected to remain at home for a further period of rest.

Following the princess’ return home, her husband Sir Tim Laurence said, “I would like to extend my warmest thanks to all the team at Southmead Hospital for their care, expertise and kindness during my wife’s short stay.”

On Wednesday, Laurence was asked about his wife’s health as he left the hospital.

“She’s fine. Slow but sure,” he told reporters outside the hospital in a video shared on X .

The Princess is expected to return to public-facing engagements once her medical team gives the go-ahead.

Anne — the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip’s only daughter — has canceled all of her official duties slated for this week, including a state visit, and a trip to Canada.

“On doctors’ advice, Her Royal Highness’s engagements for the week ahead will be postponed. Her Royal Highness sends her apologies to any who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result,” her spokesperson said.

It’s not the first time Anne has experienced memory loss as a result of a horse-related incident.

At the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal — at which she represented Great Britain — the then-26-year-old suffered a bad jump that prompted her to fall.

She later described her memory as “almost nonexistent for that day.”
