Princess Anne's medical condition is more severe than initially reported, causing significant concern within the royal family. The Princess Royal is currently recovering in Bristol's Southmead Hospital after sustaining injuries from a horse-related incident at her estate.
The incident occurred on Sunday evening, leaving Princess Anne with "minor injuries and a concussion." However, former Royal Editor Duncan Larcombe has suggested that her condition might be more critical than a simple concussion, indicating that the situation is worse than initially thought.
Speaking to GB News, Larcombe shared his concerns: "It certainly suggests that perhaps whatever had happened to her, it's worse than concussion, because I don't think you'd be kept that long in hospital for a simple concussion. It's more bad health news for a family that, as we know, has had a bit of a horrific start this year."
Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, visited her in the hospital and stated that her recovery would be a lengthy process. The injuries, which are believed to be "consistent with a kick or head-butt from a horse," have raised eyebrows given Princess Anne's extensive experience with horses.
Larcombe expressed his surprise over the incident: "When you know horses that well, you know where you stand, you know which horses are which and their different temperaments. So it's certainly a bit of a surprise that she would suffer from being kicked by a horse, if indeed that's what happened."
Princess Anne's passion for horse riding is well-known, making the incident all the more unexpected. As the Princess continues to recover, the royal family is undoubtedly anxious about her well-being and the implications for her future activities.
This incident adds to a challenging year for the royal family, highlighting the ongoing health concerns and the unpredictable nature of such accidents. The family's focus remains on supporting Princess Anne through her recovery and ensuring her health is prioritized.
