Zara Tindall narrowly avoided serious injury after a horse reared and landed on her during a photo shoot in Australia.
The royal, 43, is currently on the other side of the world to attend the Magic Millions Races, an event for which she is an ambassador.
During a photoshoot at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, Zara posed in front of three horses, all with riders sitting on them.
In the video, the smiling 43-year-old can be seen holding the reins of two of the huge animals, grinning from ear to ear.
But suddenly, a third horse rears, staggers, and falls hard on his shoulder.
The royal was knocked to the side and visibly shaken as the rider in charge of the steed in question attempted to regain control of the animal.
Luckily, Princess Anne’s daughter managed to jump just in time to avoid serious injuries.
The scare comes just six months after his mother was kicked in the head in a horse-riding accident and lost her memory.
And, just weeks after that, Zara also fell from her horse at Burghley Horse Trials, as her husband and three children looked on.
Zara was competing in the event in Stamford, Lincolnshire, when she fell during a cross-country event in September.

Fortunately, Princess Anne’s daughter managed to jump just in time to avoid serious injuries.
She fell off her horse Class Affair at Rolex Corners, putting her out of the competition, but luckily both Zara and her horse were unharmed.
Just before, he almost fell while jumping into the trout farm, but managed to hold on.
Zara’s fall and encounter with the horse come just six months after her mother, Princess Anne, was kicked in the head by a horse.
The Princess Royal, 74, suffered a bruise under her left eye and “remembers nothing” about the June 23 incident.
Anne was taken to hospital with minor head injuries and a concussion, but has since returned to royal duties.
Zara and Mike frequently visit Australian shores and were last in the country last year.
The couple spent Christmas in the UK before recently returning to Australia for the Magic Millions.
Zara and Mike are not working royals and do not receive money from the Sovereign Grant or fund their lifestyle through various brand deals.
In 2012, Zara was announced as the first female ambassador for Magic Millions Racing.

Magic Millions has been a regular fixture on Zara’s calendar since that year, when it became its sponsor after winning the Olympic silver medal in London.
He now travels to Surfers Paradise in Queensland every year for the Gold Coast Yearling Sale, seven days of auctions culminating in a major race where all the contenders are horses purchased at previous Magic Millions auctions.
Leaving their children and the miserable British weather behind, the sporting couple will take part in the 10-day equestrian carnival on the Gold Coast.
Zara will show off her skills on the polo field while her husband, who hosts a weekly podcast with James Haskell and Alex Payne, will provide his witty commentary at the glitzy event.
They will also see the jumping and racing events on the beach.
Brand experts have said Zara could make “millions” from the deal.
During their trip to Australia last year, Zara and Mike were spotted in luxury boutiques and going on wine tours.
The couple speaks fondly of the country because it is where their love story began.
They met in a Sydney bar in 2003, while Mike was “drowning his sorrows” after being left out of England’s World Cup squad and Zara was on sabbatical.
The couple has been married since 2011 and has three children: Mia Grace Tindall, 10, Lucas Tindall, three, and Lena Elizabeth Tindall, six.
During a trip to Australia in 2020, they even celebrated the New Year in Sydney with an A-list crowd, including Rebel Wilson.
