Princess Anne suffers memory loss after suffering horse-related head trauma: report

Princess Anne has reportedly suffered memory loss after suffering head injuries following a horse-related incident over the weekend.

The Princess Royal, 73, spent a second night in hospital on Monday as doctors carried out tests on her after it emerged she had suffered a concussion.

His memory loss, which is a direct consequence of the incident, would be temporary, reports the Telegraph.

Princess Anne’s husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, was asked about his wife’s condition as he left hospital this morning.

“She is doing well. Slowly but surely,” he told reporters outside the hospital in a video shared on X.

Laurence had also brought Anne some snacks from home.

The beloved royal – and only sister of King Charles – was reportedly injured by a horse during a walk on the grounds of her Gatcombe Park estate on Sunday evening.

Princess Anne’s husband Sir Timothy Laurence, as well as her daughter Zara Tindall and son Peter Phillips, were all at the estate at the time of the incident.

Other senior members of the royal family were informed of Anne’s injuries on Sunday evening.

Anne – the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip – has canceled all her planned official functions this week, including a state visit and a trip to Canada.

“On the advice of doctors, His Royal Highness’s engagements for the coming week will be postponed. Her Royal Highness apologizes to anyone who may be inconvenienced or disappointed by this,” her spokesperson said.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold has since told The Post exclusively that Anne could be away from royal duties for weeks, adding that her absence would have a “big impact on her”.

It’s no secret that Princess is an experienced and accomplished rider: she won the European individual three-day event at Burghley in 1971.

This is not the first time Anne has suffered memory loss following a horse-related incident.

At the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal – at which she represented Great Britain – the then 26-year-old suffered a bad jump which caused her to fall.

She later described her memory as “almost non-existent for that day.”

Earlier this month, the Princess Royal rode on horseback during the King’s Colors Ceremony.

However, at one point during the procession, the royal was on the verge of losing control of her horse.

Anne tried to keep her composure as her horse began to act unruly as she rode alongside two royal guards who were also on horseback.
