Princess Anne, the sister of British monarch King Charles III, resumed public responsibilities on Friday, weeks after being hospitalized 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 hospitalized in Bristol for five nights.
She has since recovered at her house on the huge estate, following conventional concussion protocols.
It is thought she was struck by a horse while walking within the secured perimeter of the grounds, which host equestrian events.
The princess’s medical team stated at the time that her injuries were compatible with a possible collision from a horse’s head or legs.
She is a talented horsewoman who competed in the 1976 Montreal Olympics and is the mother of British rider Zara Tindall, who won eventing team silver at the 2012 London Olympics.
Anne stepped in to represent Charles while he was unable to attend public events due to cancer treatment, and she rode in his ceremonial birthday parade last month.
