British royals - Princess Anne leaves hospital after accident with horse

Five days after an incident involving a horse, Princess Anne, who is 73 years old, has left the hospital. She had been treated in a clinic in Bristol for light head injuries and concussion. In a statement on Friday, her husband Tim Laurence thanked the entire team of Southmead Hospital "for the care, expertise and kindness during the short stay of my wife".

Anne's sister, King Charles III, is now recovering at her private estate, Gatcombe Park. The incident occurred there last Sunday. Exactly what happened is still unclear.

Her doctors believe that the Princess Royal was struck by the head or legs of a horse. According to British media, Anne cannot remember the incident. It has not been decided when she will resume official duties for the royal family, which will be determined in consultation with her doctors. The daughter of Queen Elizabeth II is an avid horse rider and competed in eventing at the 1976 Olympic Games.
