Princess Anne has returned home after spending a total of five days in the hospital with head injuries following a horse-related incident last weekend.
The Princess Royal, 73, was concussed and experienced subsequent memory loss after she was struck by a horse on the grounds of her Gatcombe Park estate.
The royal — who is King Charles’ only sister — was discharged from the hospital Friday morning where she’s expected to remain at home for a further period of rest.
After canceling all of her official duties this week, Anne is expected to return to public-facing engagements after her medical team gives the go-ahead.
Following the princess’ return home, her husband Sir Tim Laurence said, “I would like to extend my warmest thanks to all the team at Southmead Hospital for their care, expertise and kindness during my wife’s short stay.”
On Wednesday, Laurence was asked about his wife’s health as he left the hospital.
“She’s fine. Slow but sure,” he told reporters outside the hospital in a video shared on X.
Laurence, as well as her daughter Zara Tindall and son Peter Phillips, were all on the estate at the time of the incident.
Other senior members of the royal family were notified of Anne’s injuries on Sunday night.
