Princess Anne, 73, Leaves Hospital – Her Husband Speaks Out

The past few days have been challenging for Princess Anne after being hospitalized. However, the resilient royal has since been discharged and is recovering comfortably at her serene country home.

Princess Anne has left the hospital after a brief stay where she received treatment following an accident at her home a few days ago. The Princess Royal was taken to the hospital after sustaining a minor head injury and concussion, reportedly caused by a horse at her Gloucestershire estate.

In a short statement, Timothy expressed his gratitude to the hospital staff. “I would like to extend my warmest thanks to all the team at Southmead Hospital for their care, expertise, and kindness during my wife’s short stay,” he said.
