Princess Anne is the younger sister of King Charles III and the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. She is also a celebrated equestrian.
Princess Anne is said to be suffering from memory loss after an accident thought to involve a horse left her with a concussion and minor injuries. The Telegraph reported that the 73-year-old’s memory loss is believed to be temporary. Fox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment. The Princess Royal’s husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, also gave a brief update on Tuesday to well-wishers.
She is recovering well, thank you,' said Laurence, as quoted by People magazine. 'We are both profoundly grateful to the medical team and hospital support staff for their expert care – and to the emergency services who were all so wonderful at the scene.' 'We are both deeply touched by all the kind messages we have received from so many people near and far. It means a great deal,' he added.
As a result of her injuries, Anne was forced to cancel her appearance at a state dinner in honor of the emperor of Japan on Tuesday, as well as a trip to Canada planned for later in the week. The only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip received praise last year for being the hardest-working member of the royal family. Anne is known for her businesslike approach to a busy schedule of public appearances.
Since most of their lives are spent on horseback – either fox hunting, playing polo or competing in equestrian trials – members of the royal family are no strangers to concussions, sprains and broken bones,' Christopher Andersen, author of 'The King,' previously told Fox News Digital. 'Princess Anne… has probably sustained more injuries than any other member of the royal family, with the possible exception of King Charles.
It is believed that Anne will be able to go home this week.
