Princess Anne discharged after hospitalization for minor injuries and concussion

Princess Royal sustained minor injuries and concussion in an incident at Gatcombe Park estate.

Princess Anne has come back home following hospitalization for "minor injuries and concussion" on Sunday, June 23rd.

BBC and Sky News have announced that Princess Anne, aged 73, left Southmead Hospital in Bristol, England, early on the morning of Friday, June 28, and has now returned to her estate at Gatcombe Park.

“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,” her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, said in accordance to Sky News.

Buckingham Palace stated that the royal will resume public duties only upon receiving medical clearance.

The palace issued a statement on Monday, June 24th, announcing Anne's hospitalization, following her airlift to Southmead the previous day.

"The Princess Royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate yesterday evening,” the palace said in a statement.

“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 divulged that King Charles III “has been kept closely informed” on Anne’s health. He “joins the whole royal family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to the princess for a speedy recovery,” the statement concluded.

On Tuesday, June 25, the Princess Royal's husband provided a concise update on her condition.

“She is recovering well, thank you,” Laurence told reporters outside Southmead Hospital. “She’s doing fine, slow but sure,” he added.

“We are both profoundly grateful to the medical team and hospital support staff for their expert care and to the emergency services who were all so wonderful at the scene,” said the admiral.

“We are both deeply touched by all the kind messages we have received from so many people near and far. It means a great deal,” he added.

Zara Tindall, Anne's daughter, was observed visiting her in the hospital during another visit on Tuesday.

Anne's hospitalization led to the cancellation of her scheduled events this week, including the UK state visit of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan on Tuesday, as well as a planned visit 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,” Buckingham Palace said on Tuesday.

“The Japanese state visit will go ahead as planned, though sadly Her Royal Highness will be unable to attend the state banquet tomorrow.”
