Princess Anne has kept her promise to the Royal Family following her health scare earlier in the year.

The Princess Royal, 74, was rushed to Southmead Hospital after suffering a concussion following a horse-related accident on her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire.

She spent five nights in hospital after the injury before being discharged.

Anne had been due to visit several organisations in Hampshire, but the engagements were cancelled due to the incident.

A Palace spokesperson told GB News at the time: “On doctors’ advice, Her Royal Highness’s engagements for the week ahead will be postponed.

“Her Royal Highness sends her apologies to any who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result.”

After a gradual return to her public duties, which included appearances at the Paris 2024 Olympics in July, Anne has resumed a full diary.

On Tuesday, she carried out her rescheduled visits in Hampshire.

The Princess Royal opened Warsash Sailing Club’s Renovated Clubhouse in her capacity as President of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA).

The renovated clubhouse, Shore House, has been extended and includes a viewing balcony over the River Hamble, a large meeting hall, two bars and a fully catered galley.

Anne has followed in the direction of her late father, Prince Philip, with her long-held passion for sailing.

In 2021, during a visit to the Isle of Wight, the mother-of-two admitted she first took up the hobby on a Bloodhound (a yacht).

Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, are known to enjoy cruising around in a Rustler 44 Ballochbuie in Scotland.

In a previous interview for RYA Magazine, she opened up about her love for sailing.

The royal said: “For me, it’s important to have time away and sailing really is time away.

“It gives you a complete change from anything you’re doing and from my perspective, having a boat on the west coast of Scotland gives me two things – time away and in an attractive area.”
