Princess Anne was visited by her husband today after spending a second night in hospital after being hit by horse and suffering concussion.
The Princess Royal was visited by her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence at midday today. Sir Tim arrived by car at the main entrance. He and Anne are expected to eat lunch together. Sir Tim was pictured going through the main entrance at Southmead Hospital in Bristol where it is expected that Anne, 73, will remain for the rest of the week.
A video shows him driving himself to the hospital in a black Range Rover and parking outside the entrance. He took in what appeared to be a blue cool bag - strolling calmly past patients and their families who were waiting outside. The Anne was walking round the Gatcombe Park estate where she lives in Gloucestershire on Sunday when she is understood to have been struck by a horse either by the head or legs.
