Princess Anne is currently in Paris on a 12-day Olympic trip, marking her return to public engagements after recovering from a head injury. The 73-year-old royal had spent five nights in the hospital following an incident involving a horse at the Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucs. Reports indicate that she has no recollection of the details surrounding the incident.
As the president of the British Olympic Association, Princess Anne is set to pay tribute to Eric Liddell, the hero of 'Chariots of Fire', on the centenary of his 400m triumph. Anne, who competed in the equestrian three-day event at the 1976 Olympic Games, began a phased return to work on July 12 after nearly three weeks of recuperation.
Despite having to cancel several engagements, including a trip to Canada and an appearance at the State Banquet, during her hospital stay, Anne is now back to fulfilling her duties. A royal source expressed relief at seeing the Princess back in action, highlighting her resilience and commitment.
