The Princess Royal had been in Southmead Hospital in Bristol since Sunday evening after she suffered concussion and minor head injuries when she was struck by a horse in Gloucestershire.
Princess Anne left hospital and returned home this morning after being treated for concussion and head injuries when she was struck by a horse.
The 73-year-old Princess Royal had been at Southmead Hospital in Bristol since Sunday evening after being hurt at her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.
Five days later, the King’s sister departed the hospital privately today without being seen and returned to her country home near Minchinhampton, 30 miles away.
Her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, who visited her in hospital, said in a statement: ‘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.’
The Princess was also visited by her daughter Zara Tindall. Anne concussion has meant precise details of the incident are unclear, but her medical team have said her head injuries were consistent with a potential impact from a horse’s head or legs.
Anne will now remain at Gatcombe for further rest and recuperation and will return to public duty when her doctors recommend it is safe and comfortable to do so.
