British Princess Anne, the younger sister of King Charles III, suffered "minor injuries and a concussion" after an incident that occurred on Sunday evening at her estate in Gloucestershire County, Buckingham Palace reported.

"The Princess Royal suffered minor injuries and a concussion after an incident at Gatcombe Park estate last evening. As a precaution, Her Royal Highness remains at Southmead Hospital in Bristol for observation and is expected to recover fully soon, " Buckingham Palace said.

"The King has been kept informed and joins the royal family in sending the Princess the sincerest expressions of love and wishes for a swift recovery," it added.

The cause of the injury has not been confirmed, but according to the BBC, Princess Anne was likely hit by a horse with its head or leg.

The 73-year-old Anne is the hardest-working member of the royal family and consistently ranks among the most popular. Later this week, she was scheduled to begin a visit to Canada.
