The 73-year-old daughter of Elizabeth II has been discharged from Southmead Hospital in Bristol, south-west England, where she had been receiving treatment since Sunday evening for concussion and “minor injuries”. She returned to her country residence in Gatcombe Park, west London, in the morning.
In a statement, her husband Tim Laurence conveyed “his warmest thanks to the team at Southmead Hospital for their care, expertise and kindness during the short stay” of his wife, who is very popular in England.
On Wednesday, he indicated that the princess was recovering “slowly” after this accident. She is expected to remain at her Gatcombe Park property while she recovers and will only resume public activities with the green light from her doctors.

According to British media, the shock caused memory problems and the princess does not remember exactly what happened.
Anne is a top rider and even represented her country at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
Anne, who has the title Princess Royal, is the most active among the royals, with hundreds of engagements a year. Last year she carried more than King Charles and the sovereign’s cancer, like that of Princess Kate, has further increased her burden this year.
Valued for her sense of duty and outspokenness, the late queen’s only daughter is more popular than her brother Charles III, according to a recent YouGov poll.
