Princess Anne’s husband has arrived for a visit at the hospital where she was taken following an injury believed to have been caused by a horse.
Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, 69, arrived by car at the main entrance of Southmead Hospital, north Bristol, shortly after midday on Tuesday.
He and the Princess Royal are expected to eat lunch together.
It is believed the 73-year-old, a skilled horsewoman, suffered minor injuries to her head and a concussion when she was kicked by a horse while walking on her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire on Sunday evening.
Although the exact cause of the injuries is unconfirmed, Anne’s medical team have said her head injuries are consistent with a potential impact from a horse’s head or legs.
Emergency services and an air ambulance attended, and she was treated at the scene. The princess was transferred to Southmead Hospital by road for tests, treatment and observation.
Anne married former Royal Navy officer Sir Tim, her second husband, in a low-key ceremony in 1992.
The Olympic-medal winning horsewoman is expected to remain in hospital until later this week.
