Princess Michael of Kent will celebrate Christmas a little differently this year. After tripping on the stairs of her Buckingham Palace residence, Queen Elizabeth II's cousin-in-law broke both of her wrists.
The news was reported by the Daily Mailindicating that the princess was still able to attend the Christmas lunch organized by King Charles at the palace that day, with both wrists in splints. “There are so many things we think we can do, like brushing our teeth, that are impossible,” the princess said, according to the newspaper. “I can type with one finger on a cell phone, but I can't use a laptop. » The princess had her arms full of coats when the accident occurred, breaking several small bones while trying to break the fall.
Although her injury is significant and somewhat debilitating, the 79-year-old Briton remains active and smiling. But Michael de Kent seems to have accumulated health problems in recent months. In an interview published on December 17, she said she had undergone heart surgery a year ago. “It shocked me. I still have to rest every afternoon,” she said.
In this same conversation, the sovereign spoke for the first time about the sudden death of her son-in-law, Thomas Kingston, who died last February at the age of 45. “Tom was a lovely man, so kind and caring. They were very happy together,” Princess Michael told Majesty Magazine. “We often had them here with Freddie, Sophie and the girls for Sunday lunch,” she added, referring to her son, Lord Frederick Windsor, his wife Sophie Winkleman and their two young daughters.
If the princess and her husband, Prince Michael of Kent, do not work for the royal family, they still participated in the king's Christmas lunch on December 19 but also in the traditional Christmas concert, hosted by Kate Middleton on the 6 last December.
