PRINCESS Anne thanks staff who saved her life after a confirmation of her visit to an intensive care unit.
The horse-related-accident occurred in June last year and the Princess thanks NHS staff for their treatment.
Anne told medical crews at Southmead Hospital in Bristol who were involved in looking after her following the incident in June 2024: “Sadly, I don’t have huge memories of being in here either.
“I just know I was really well looked after so thank you.”
“But whatever you did, it seemed to work… the recovery being relatively straightforward, thankfully. That isn’t always true so I’m really grateful.
“I’m also grateful in a weird sort of way that I remember nothing because that has huge advantages – you can just carry on.”
The 74-year-old princess, who was on her way to see her chickens on her Gatcombe Park estate when the incident happened, has no memory of what followed, but is thought to have been struck by a horse’s head or legs.
An air ambulance and emergency services were dispatched to Anne’s Gloucestershire home and, following medical care by the crew, the princess was taken by road 30 miles to Southmead.
Anne appeared to joke about her horses and which one was responsible for her injuries, saying: “I know if there was a perpetrator who managed to do that much damage, they’re not letting on either, so relationships remain absolutely secure.
“No one has gone absent as a result of this.”
The King’s sister spent five nights in the facility after her accident on June 23 and did not return to public royal duties until almost three weeks later after rehabilitation support at home.
At the time, Buckingham Palace said the princess “remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation”.
Anne has described how “every day is a bonus” after she suffered concussion and minor head injuries.
On a recent tour to South Africa, the princess remarked of the incident: “It just reminds you, shows you – you never quite know, something (happens) and you might not recover.”
Most of the princess’s visit to the ICU was private.
She walked along the critical care corridor of the unit, meeting staff at different intensive care pods while machines could be heard beeping intermittently.
