He wrote: "BREAKING: Princess Anne is in hospital with head injuries after what is believed to have been a horse-related incident at her Gatcombe Park estate. Expected to make a full, speedy recovery."
"I wish HRH all the best," he continued. In a succinct six-word reaction, he commented: "Must have been quite a bang," and further remarked, "for this indomitable lady to allow herself to be hospitalised," reports the Express.
Morgan's 8.7 million followers were quick to respond to his update, extending their good wishes to Princess Anne. One user responded: "That's unfortunate. Wishing her a speedy recovery."
