Buckingham Palace also confirmed that King Charles’ sister suffered “minor injuries and a concussion” on Sunday and that she was transported to Southmead Hospital in Bristol as a “precautionary measure.”
“The Princess Royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate yesterday evening,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Monday morning.
