Princess Anne in hospital with minor injuries

The Princess Royal has been admitted to hospital after she was injured on her estate in Gloucestershire, says Buckingham Palace.

Princess Anne, 73, “sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident” at her Gatcombe Park estate.

“She remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation,” says a palace statement.

She is expected to make a full and swift recovery, says the palace.

The cause of the injury is unconfirmed, but it’s understood to be consistent with a potential impact from a horse’s head or legs.

The Princess Royal had been expected to begin a visit to Canada at the end of this week.
