Princess Anne Says She Doesn't Remember a Single Thing About Her Horse's Accident

For the first time since being hospitalized following a horse accident, Princess Anne spoke about her health and her ability to recall the events of that day.

On Friday, July 12, the Princess made her first official public appearance, visiting the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Championships at Hartpury College and University.

"I don't remember a single thing," Ann said of her recent horse-related accident.

On June 23, Buckingham Palace described Princess Anne as having "minor injuries and concussion" after being involved in "an incident at the Gatcombe Park Estate."

"Her Royal Highness has been admitted to Southmead Hospital in Bristol as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and speedy recovery," the Palace said in a written statement. The Palace added: "The King wishes Her Royal Highness a speedy recovery.

On June 25, The Telegraph first reported that Princess Anne had suffered temporary memory loss as a result of the incident.

That same day, her husband, Vice Admiral Timothy Lawrence, spoke about his wife's condition and her current hospitalization.

"She is recovering well. We are both deeply appreciative of the professional care of our medical team and hospital support staff.

"We are both deeply touched by the kind messages we have received from so many people near and far. It means a great deal."

Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall, was reportedly "deeply shaken" by her mother's accident and memory loss.

"This is exactly what Zara has been worried about for years, but her mother never had a chance to slow down, with everyone falling apart," a source told OK at the time, citing Prince Charles and Princess Kate's cancer diagnosis.

"It really shook Zara to the core and she desperately wants this memory to be temporary," the source continued. The source continued, "Zara desperately hopes this memory is only temporary."

King Charles' sister was later discharged from the hospital five days later, on June 28, and is "receiving rehabilitation support at her home in Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire," People reported at the time.

Vice Admiral Timothy Lawrence, in a brief statement released after his wife was discharged, said, "I would like to sincerely thank the team at Southmead Hospital for their care, expertise and kindness during my wife's brief stay."
