The Princess Royal Hospitalised After Unexplained Horse Incident at Gatcombe Park
Princess Anne’s hospitalisation earlier this year has left royal observers puzzled after an incident at her Gatcombe Park residence that remains unexplained.
On June 23, the Princess Royal was discovered unconscious, reportedly due to being kicked by a horse. However, with no witnesses and Anne unable to recall the events, the circumstances surrounding the accident remain a mystery.
Sources described the incident as “very significant,” revealing that Anne suffered a severe concussion and required five days of hospital care.
The ordeal left King Charles III deeply worried for his sister. “No one was ever able to get to the bottom of it—it’s a total mystery,” a source told the Mail. “It was a very concerning time.”
Despite the serious nature of the accident, Anne’s resilience shone through as she returned to her royal duties just two weeks later. Her unwavering dedication saw her complete 217 engagements in 2024, earning her recognition as the hardest-working royal of the year.
The accident remains a baffling chapter in the Princess Royal’s life, highlighting both her strength and her commitment to duty amidst personal challenges.
