Princess Anne has returned to royal duties for the first time since suffering a concussion in a horse-related accident.

The Princess Royal was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol last month after she was reportedly kicked by a horse at her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.

The 73-year-old royal, an expert horsewoman who competed at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, was out for a stroll when the incident occurred.

Emergency services were dispatched to the farm and after receiving medical attention at the scene, Anne was transferred to hospital for tests, treatment and observation.

Today, he visited the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Championships at Hartpury University and Hartpury College in Gloucestershire after recovering from his dramatic injury.

The royal appeared in high spirits as she attended the event, beaming as she met members of the charity, of which she has been a patron since November 1971.

The visit comes after the Princess Royal was rushed to hospital after suffering a minor head injury while at her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire. She is seen on horseback during the Royal Guard parade in London on June 15 before her accident.

Anne, often dubbed the “hardest working royal” for the large amount of public engagement she undertakes each year, has been the president of the GDR since 1986.

After her accident, she was forced to miss at least Nine engagements, including a trip to Canada and a banquet for the Japanese State Visit in London last week.

She has been a cornerstone of the King’s reduced working monarchy, and has played a major role in stepping forward in support of Charles amid his cancer diagnosis.
