Princess Michael of Kent Suffers Fall, Breaking Both Wrists at Kensington Palace

The 79-year-old royal is recovering after a staircase accident while reflecting on recent health challenges and family tragedies.

Princess Michael of Kent, 79, broke both wrists after falling down stairs at her Kensington Palace residence while carrying a pile of coats.
She attended King Charles' pre-Christmas lunch the same day with both wrists in splints, expressing challenges in performing daily tasks during recovery.
The Princess revealed she underwent heart surgery a year ago and still requires daily rest as part of her recovery process.
She also spoke publicly for the first time about the February death of her son-in-law, Thomas Kingston, who died by suicide at age 45 after an adverse reaction to prescribed medication.
Princess Michael and her family remain active in royal gatherings, including recent Christmas events, despite ongoing personal and health struggles.
