Princess Anne Returns to Duties After Concussion

Princess Anne, 73, has resumed official engagements after recovering from a concussion sustained by a horse-related accident. The princess was hospitalized for five nights. Despite the injury, she attended the Riding for the Disabled Association National Championships, continuing her longstanding support for the charity.

Britain's Princess Anne made a resilient return to official duties on Friday, just under three weeks after suffering a concussion believed to be caused by a horse. The 73-year-old royal, who needed hospital treatment for five nights following the incident, resumed her engagements with the Riding for the Disabled Association National Championships in western England.

The princess had to postpone several planned events, including a scheduled trip to Canada. Known as the most diligent member of the royal family, Anne's return was highly anticipated. Friday's event was significant as she has been a patron of the charity for over five decades and its president since 1986.

Reports indicate that the injury occurred at Gatcombe Park estate, her residence. It is speculated that the concussion resulted from an impact with a horse, although details remain unclear. Anne's dedication to her duties and swift recovery have been widely acknowledged.
