“The Princess Royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate yesterday evening,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement Monday.
“Her Royal Highness remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery.”
Meanwhile, King Charles has been informed, according to palace officials.
The monarch “joins the whole Royal Family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to The Princess for a speedy recovery,” the statement concluded.
Additionally, Princess Anne has since been receiving treatment and tests, and remains under the care of doctors and nurses until further notice.
Princess Anne’s husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, as well as her daughter Zara Tindall and son Peter Phillips, were all on the estate at the time of the incident.
Anne, who is the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip’s only daughter is expected to be discharged from the hospital later this week.
“Her Royal Highness is recovering well, is in a comfortable condition and is being kept in hospital as a precautionary measure for further observation,” the Princess’ spokesperson said in a follow-up statement.
For the time being, she was supposed to participate in a State Visit this week, and had an official trip to Canada planned for the end of the week, which has also been canceled.
“On doctors’ advice, Her Royal Highness’s engagements for the week ahead will be postponed. Her Royal Highness sends her apologies to any who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result,” her spokesperson added.
It remains unclear if Anne had been riding a horse at the time of the accident. She is known as an experienced and accomplished rider.
Earlier this month, she rode on horseback during the King’s Trooping the Colour ceremony.
