EXCLUSIVE: Last month Princess Anne was taken to hospital after an incident apparently involving a horse at her home, but was discharged some days later.

Princess Anne’s is said to be “slowly recovering” and “receiving rehabilitation” after recently suffering a head injury.

The Princess Royal’s family have been rallying round as she continues to recuperate at home in Gatcombe Park, Gloucestershire after being hospitalised for five days.

It is not known exactly what happened to Anne as her concussion prevented her from remembering, but she was taken to Southmead Hospital in Bristol on Sunday June 23 for minor injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.

A source told Express.co.uk that the Princess Royal is “recovering slowly and receiving rehabilitation” which would suggest a more serious head injury than original reports claimed.

The insider added: “Anne is receiving home rehabilitation. Tim and Zara are helping coordinate the medical visits and make sure she has everything she needs.”

Anne’s husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence accompanied her to the hospital and went to visit her when she was an in-patient, and now has been helping to look after her.

Her daughter Zara Tindall and husband Mike are also on hand round the clock, as they live on the estate with their three children Mia, Lena and Lucas.
