Princess Anne sparks fan frenzy at Paris Olympics just one month after suffering head injury

Fans were very excited to see the 73-year-old, especially after she suffered a concussion in June.

One fan wrote on social media: "Princess Anne came out for Adam Peaty! Silver Mens 100m Breaststroke."

Princess Anne also awarded Italy's Nicolò Martinenghi a gold medal.

Another fan added: "That was great to see Princess Anne giving the gold medal to Italy's Nicolò Martinenghi."

It comes just weeks after she was rushed to hospital with a head injury after being kicked by a horse.

Some social media users expressed their concern for the hard-working royal, given her recent ordeal.

One wrote: "Princess Anne looked tired and has lost so much weight.

"I hope that her Royal Highness is pacing herself. Take care, Ma’am".

Another remarked on her resilience, writing: "Princess Anne fell off her horse two weeks ago and here she is handing out medals. She’s tough!!"

The appearance from the 73-year-old is the latest in her phased return to public duties after being rushed to Southmead Hospital in Bristol on June 23.

She stayed in hospital for five nights after being injured while out walking on her Gatcombe estate in Gloucestershire.

Anne’s medical team said her concussion and head injuries were consistent with a potential impact from a horse’s head or legs.

However, her concussion meant precise details of how the incident came about were not clear.

The Princess Royal met Team GB athletes in Paris on Wednesday in her first official overseas trip since being hit by a horse.
