Princess Anne has been admitted to hospital after she suffered minor injuries and concussion while out walking on her Gloucestershire estate. The incident happened on Sunday evening, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
The 73-year-old, who is a skilled horsewoman, is believed to have been kicked by a horse while out for an stroll on her Gatcombe Park grounds last night.
Since the incident occurred, locals near the Gatcombe Park estate said they saw an air ambulance land followed by a police helicopter circling and “thought the worst”.
A local man said he saw the air ambulance land at 9.15pm on June 23 and the police helicopter circled from around 9.23pm.
He added: “I saw an air ambulance landing on her estate and I thought ‘oh my goodness, I hope it’s not Anne’. And then the police helicopter started circling about ten minutes later and I thought the worst.

“I thought something awful must have happened and I was worried a criminal might be on the loose, but the police helicopter was off pretty quickly.”
The local added: “The air ambulance was on the ground for about 40 minutes I think – I’m not sure if it took her to hospital but didn’t look like it did as it flew off the other way. I really hope she’s going to be okay.”
Although an air ambulance was despatched from the scene, it was not needed to take Princess Anne to hospital.
After news of the incident was revealed, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “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 palace confirmed that Anne is “recovering well”, is in a comfortable condition and is being kept in hospital as a precautionary measure for further observation.
After being admitted to hospital, she is receiving “expert” care and will stay at the hospital until her medical team advise otherwise.

Anne’s husband, Sir Tim Laurence, accompanied her to the hospital – and her children, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips were at the estate when the incident occured.
On doctors’ advice, Anne’s engagements for the week ahead will be postponed. A Palace spokesperson said she “sends her apologies to any who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result”.
The Japanese state visit, with events beginning on Tuesday, will go ahead as planned, but Princess Anne won’t be in attendance.
