Princess Anne, the sister of British monarch King Charles III, resumed public responsibilities on Friday, weeks after being hospitalised after being hit by a horse.
Anne, 73, presented medals and greeted winners at a charity horseriding event in Gloucestershire, southwestern England, as part of a reported phased comeback to public appearances.
The Princess Royal, as she is also called, had a concussion and minor brain injuries at her Gatcombe Park residence in Gloucestershire in late June and was hospitalised in Bristol for five nights.
She has since been recovering at her home on the sprawling estate, and following standard concussion protocols.
It is believed she was struck by a horse as she was walking within the protected perimeter of its grounds, which hosts equestrian events.
The princess’s medical team said at the time her injuries were consistent with a potential impact from a horse’s head or legs.
She is a skilled horsewoman who competed at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, and is the mother of British rider Zara Tindall, who won eventing team silver at the 2012 London Olympics.
Anne has stepped in to represent Charles while he postponed public engagements during his cancer treatment, and rode at his official birthday parade last month.
