"The Princess Royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate yesterday evening. Her Royal Highness remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery," the statement from Buckingham Palace read.
"The King joins the whole Royal Family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to The Princess for a speedy recovery," it added.
Princess Anne's accident
The cause of the injury has not been confirmed, but as the BBC reported, Princess Anne was likely struck by a horse with its head or leg.
Seventy-three-year-old Anne is the hardest-working member of the royal family and consistently ranks among the most famous individuals within the family. She was scheduled to begin a visit to Canada later this week.
