Princess Anne has been hospitalised following an incident.

The 73-year-old Princess Royal 'has sustained minor injuries and concussion' following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate on Sunday evening (23 June) and remains in a Bristol hospital for observation, Buckingham Palace has said.

It's been reported that she has suffered minor injuries to her head and concussion when it is believed she was kicked by a horse.

Anne, an Olympic-medal winning horsewoman, was walking on her Gloucestershire estate on Sunday evening when the incident happened.

Emergency services were despatched to the estate and, after medical care at the scene, the princess was transferred to Southmead Hospital in Bristol for appropriate tests, treatment and observation.

An official statement from Buckingham Palace released Monday afternoon (24 June) reads: "The Princess Royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate yesterday evening.

"Her Royal Highness remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery.

Princess Anne made her last public appearance at Royal Ascot on Thursday last week (20 June) and she is expected to leave hospital before the end of the week.

Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire, UK, has been home to Princess Anne since 1976.

She recently appeared at the Trooping the Colour earlier this month (15 June) where she showed off her equestrian skills while riding her horse, Noble.

Opening up about their family's close relationship with horses, Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall, told PEOPLE: "Our horses are in our family, so there's always discussions about performances and things like that. There's horses in her life, and she does a bit of breeding as well. So there's always horse conversation going on."

The Royal Family previously released a statement about Noble last year, writing: "Noble toured with the RCMP’s Musical Ride in 2022, where she was recognised for her superior physical and athletic ability as well as her composed personality.

"Having demonstrated her potential during the tour with the Musical Ride, participating in 90 public performances at 50 different locations in Canada, Noble was selected as the ideal horse for His Majesty because of her size and ability.

"Her calm demeanor allows her to thrive in the sometimes raucous atmosphere of exciting public events."
