  • “It really does take something to slow Princess Anne down.”
    Princess Anne, usually a “vital part of the royal machine” will be missing from engagements this week as she recovers in hospital from a minor head injury. It’s thought she was involved in an accident with a horse but “it remains unclear quite how this happened”.

      Agreed. She's very experienced with horses. She knows what she's doing. This can happen to any horse owner/equestrian.

    Lifelong equestrian here. Horses can be very expressive by getting that head going. When you get clocked by a head in motion it knocks you down efficiently. Stuff happens often.

    Get well soon, Princess Anne!
    Being knocked down by either a horses head swinging or if she was bent over checking a horses leg she could have got a knee in the face...so many scenarios..but if she was out cold, did someone come looking for her or did she get herself up and back home? A kick even from unshod hoof would leave a tell tale mark..

    Hope PA has a swift recovery. If she was patting a horse and it swung it's head quickly, maybe because of flies, PA could easily have been headbutted. It happens very quickly and is very painful. Loss of memory would be very likely.

    You don't get hit by a horse's leg. That's nonsense. You can get kicked though, but on the head? Sounds too high. Could have been head butted, flies are annoying this time of year. My daughter was in the field with her pony and a trailer rattled by on the road. The pony spooked into her and sent her flying and she knocked her head on the ground.

    Many people who suffered concussions may get dementia years later. She was either headbutted, or kicked by a horse in the head which is something very serious. Her brain was affected. She doesn't remember the accident, which is a bad sign.

    Concussions are often minor and patients not kept in hospital overnight. They can check for brain bleeds with CT Scans. Reasons for cautious watching include period of unconsciousness, severe symptoms (vomiting, vertigo, headache), age, or even position in the Constitutional Monarchy when the King himself is ill! Is it another slow news day?

    Something may have frightened horse. I pray no one gave horse anything to act aggressive. That horse knows Anne well, horses usually do trust and bond with their riders. Of course any animal can be unpredictable at times. But I’m sure c will be investigated. I hope so for Royals security. Things like this may look innocent but not necessarily so. Those animals have to be double checked . But could b something may have frightened horse or startled it. Another animal.

    If she was out on her own probably concuscion. My donkey gets a bit excited when feeding treats and their heads whip upwards hard and fast. I feel it's unlikely a kick as she wouldn't put herself at risk unless there were several horses pushing each other. I hope she is ok soon❤ . Im glad she had help nearby.

    THEY think she was headbutted by the horse. Wonder how the horse it doing? GOD Bless Princess Anne....may she make a full and rapid recovery! Memory loss is common in injuries like this....the electrical system is scrambled, and short term memories don't become long term memories. She'll remember walking in the field, fairly near the horse, and then waking up on the ground. The accident never comes back. If someone can describe their whole head injury, it didn't happen...at least the head wasn't injured.

    Being around horses is always a risk. They're big, heavy, they kick and bite, and they don't care if they hurt you. Anne knows that better than most, but fear isn't a part of her. Hope she's going to be OK.
