Princess Anne Sustains Minors Injuries and Concussion in Horse-Related Incident at Gatcombe Park: A Look into Her Previous Equine Accidents and Current Condition

Princess Anne, the second child of Queen Elizabeth II and sister to King Charles III, was hospitalized on June 23, 2024 after an incident involving a horse at her estate in Gatcombe Park. The princess sustained minor injuries and a concussion during the incident. She is currently receiving medical care at Southmead Hospital in Bristol and is expected to make a full recovery.

Anne, who is known for her love of horses, was walking near them when the accident occurred. Her husband Sir Timothy Laurence and children Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips were present at the scene but were not injured. Emergency services arrived at Gatcombe Park to treat Anne before she was transferred to Southmead Hospital.

The princess, who is a former Olympic equestrian, has had a busy schedule lately as she has been standing in for her brother King Charles during his cancer treatment. Her upcoming engagements, including a trip to Canada, have been postponed on the advice of her medical team.

Princess Anne's accident is not the first time she has been involved in an incident with a horse. In 1976, while competing in the three-day event at the Montreal Olympics, she was thrown from her horse Goodwill when it became stuck in mud but finished the competition despite her injuries.

The princess's condition is reported to be stable and she is expected to be discharged from the hospital soon. The royal family has released a statement expressing their concern for Anne's well-being and wishing her a speedy recovery.
