The Princess Royal was on an official visit to Bristol’s Southmead Hospital today where she told employees that she doesn’t remember the details of what has been described as an equestrian-related injury.
Anne was taken to Southmead after the incident but added that she doesn’t remember her stay at the facility.
The Princess Royal is the Hardest Working Royal
Princess Anne previously said that she remembered “nothing” of the horse accident on her Gatcombe Park estate that left her with a concussion.
During Thursday’s engagement she told the staff “You’ve been filling in the blanks, which partly—from my perspective—is really useful to know.”
“Because I seriously don’t have any idea and, sadly, I don’t have huge memories of being in here either.” During her visit she was given a tour of the ICU, the air ambulance helicopter pad, and staff gardens.

Princess Anne’s Two Concussions
According to Vanity Fair, on June 23, 2024 the princess “was in a field when she was seemingly injured by a horse.” It was said that her family members tended to her in the aftermath until an air ambulance landed on her property and took her to Southmead.
Anne spent five nights there as an in-patient, in the midst of both Princess Catherine and King Charles fighting cancer battles and receiving treatment.
While Anne admitted that doesn’t remember her time in care, she told the staff that she knows “I was really well looked after … Whatever you did, it seemed to work.”
Last Summer Was Brutal for the Royals

Anne has long held the unofficial title of the hardest working royal due to the number of official engagements she completes each year.
After her concussion (the second one she is known to have had) Anne canceled a planned tour of Canada, as well as engagements in the UK. But true to form, Anne was back to her royal duties within a month.
This included several appearances at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in July as a member of the International Olympic Committee. Both Anne and her daughter Zara are past Olympians in equestrian events.
