Princess Anne cancels upcoming royal engagements amid recovery from head injuries

The 73-year-old has cancelled some outings next week in Scotland and Norfolk as her medical team manages her work schedule.

King Charles's sister will not head to Scotland on Monday and Tuesday, despite being scheduled to visit NLV Pharos, a lighthouse tender in Scotland.

It has emerged that Anne will also not be heading to Norfolk next Thursday, where she was expected to visit Brancaster Station in her role as the Royal Patron of the National Coastwatch Institution.

Anne originally planned to visit a Citizens Advice office in Norwich.

That has now been cancelled, as reported by Norwich Evening News on July 16.

The cancellations come after Princess Anne visited a British Army Military Intelligence Battalion in Salisbury, Wiltshire on Wednesday, July 17.

On July 12, Anne made her first outing since her June 23 accident when she visited the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Championships in Gloucestershire.

After stepping out of the car that day, the royal said she couldn't "remember a single thing" about the accident.

Despite her setback, Anne was in her element amid the equestrian setting, where she joined RDA supporters in the arena, presented awards and met winners.

The mother-of-two was discharged from Southmead Hospital following a five-day stay.

She sustained a concussion and minor injuries in an "incident" at her Gatcombe Park estate, Buckingham Palace said in a statement on June 24.

The statement read: "Her Royal Highness remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery.

"The King has been kept closely informed and joins the whole Royal Family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to The Princess for a speedy recovery."

When she left the hospital, her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, issued a short statement: "I would like to extend my warmest thanks to all the team at Southmead Hospital for their care, expertise and kindness during my wife’s short stay."
