Kate Middleton and Prince William’s very unroyal message to Princess Anne

Prince William and Princess Kate have paid tribute to Princess Anne with a moving message of support after the Princess Royal made a return to public life weeks after suffering a horror horse injury and being rushed to hospital.

The tweet, posted on the Royals’ official Prince and Princess of Wales profile, read: “Super trooper! So great to see you back so soon! W & C x”

The Princess Royal returned to public duties yesterday (July 12) for the first time since suffering concussion in the shocking accident.

Anne, 73, could be seen nursing a bruised left eye and face, covered by heavy makeup, as she made a visit to the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Championships at Hartpury University and Hartpury College in Gloucestershire.

Brave Princess Anne said that she “can’t remember a single thing” about an incident with a horse that left her with head injuries nearly three weeks ago

The King’s sister spent five nights in hospital earlier last month after she was believed to have been struck by a horse’s head or legs while out walking near her Gatcombe Park home.

The princess was forced to pull out of nine engagements while in hospital including a trip to Canada to commemorate war heroes.
