Health concerns continue to affect the British royal family. This time it was Princess Anne, the sister of Charles III, who was hospitalized after an accident which was not very serious.
The news broke this Monday, June 24 in the middle of the day: Princess Anne was hospitalized after an accident that occurred on Sunday evening at her estate in Gatcombe Park, in Gloucestershire. As reported by the BBC, the sister of King Charles III was admitted to Southmead Hospital in Bristol for “minor injuries and a concussion”.
The cause of the injury remains unknown, but the incident is believed to have occurred while this seasoned rider was riding her horse. The BBC mentions a blow given by the animal’s head or legs.

A first press release from Buckingham Palace is intended to be reassuring regarding the state of health of the 73-year-old Briton, who should “recover completely and quickly”. However, she still remains hospitalized for observation, “as a precautionary measure”.

King Charles kept informed
It was also specified that King Charles III “was kept closely informed” of his sister’s situation. “He joins the entire Royal Family in sending the Princess all his love and best wishes for a speedy recovery. »
The princess’s presence at the state banquet given Tuesday evening at Buckingham, in honor of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan, therefore seems compromised. Expected in Canada at the end of the week, for a new official trip, the princess could also be forced to postpone her trip. The mother of Zara and Peter Phillips is expected there for a ceremony honoring the Newfoundland dead of the First World War, she who has already taken part in the commemorations of the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings, at the beginning of June.
