Perhaps the reason Buckingham Palace didn’t reveal the cause of Princess Anne’s injury in their statement was because the royal couldn’t remember herself. According to The Telegraph, Princess Anne suffered temporary memory loss after the incident that occurred at Gatcombe Park. As a result, she was reportedly unable to recall specific details. However, medical officials revealed that Princess Anne’s head injury was likely caused by a horse’s head or legs. After a five-night stay in the hospital, the royal was discharged and has since made a statement regarding her royal duties.
Prior to her injury, the hardest working royal was scheduled to attend a memorial service in Canada but canceled after the accident. She released a statement (via The U.S. Sun) expressing her sincerest apology for having to miss out on the event. “It is with deep regret that I am unable to be with you today, as you commemorate the brave efforts and sacrifices of the members of the Newfoundland Regiment who went into battle on the first day of the Somme,” she said. She went on to discuss some of her past visits, before apologizing once more. She shared, “…I am deeply saddened that I’m unable to join you again, and I send you my warmest best wishes on this special day of commemoration.” With her hospital release and statement, it seemed like Princess Anne was on the road to recovery, but family members are still worried for the royal.
