Princess Anne Revisits Hospital That Treated Her After Horse Accident

The Princess Royal returned to Southmead Hospital to thank staff for their care following her 2024 concussion and head injuries.

Princess Anne, 74, visited Southmead Hospital in Bristol, where she was treated in June 2024 after a horse-related accident on her Gatcombe Park estate.
She spent five nights in the Intensive Care Unit following a concussion and minor head injuries, with no memory of the incident or her stay at the hospital.
During her visit, she met with the medical team who cared for her, toured the ICU, and reflected on the importance of the care she received for her recovery.
The accident occurred while she was walking to feed her chickens; medical experts believe her injuries were consistent with being struck by a horse, though exact details remain unclear.
Anne expressed gratitude to the hospital staff, emphasizing the value of their work and describing her recovery as a reminder to appreciate each day.
