When asked whether Princess Anne would be leaving the hospital soon, Sir Tim provided a brief and non-reassuring response, stating, “She’ll be out when she’s ready.”
Princess Anne was admitted to the hospital on Sunday night after sustaining injuries and a concussion in an incident believed to involve horses at Gatcombe Park estate. Buckingham Palace issued a statement on Monday confirming her head injuries but did not specify the cause.
Sir Tim's comment marks the first update on Anne’s health since Monday. Her daughter, Zara Tindall, was also seen visiting the hospital on Tuesday.
The 73-year-old Princess Royal is reportedly eager to recover and return to her duties, although several of her engagements have been cancelled due to her injuries. Anne, a skilled horsewoman and the first royal to compete in the Olympics during the 1976 Montreal Games, was believed to have been kicked by a horse on the Gloucestershire estate.
A Palace spokesperson provided further details: "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 King has been kept closely informed and joins the whole Royal Family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to the princess for a speedy recovery," the statement continued. "Her Royal Highness is receiving appropriate expert care. No further details are being shared at this stage. Her Royal Highness will remain in Southmead Hospital unless or until her medical team advises otherwise."
The update, while meant to reassure, has left many fans anxious about the princess's condition, hoping for her swift and complete recovery.
