Princess Anne is being tipped for a Royal Family comeback as early as next week.

The Princess Royal, 73, is currently scheduled on the Royal Diary to visit NLV Pharos off the West coast of Scotland on Monday, July 15.


The Royal Diary is the record of official engagements that working members of the Royal Family plan to undertake with updates published weeks in advance.

Princess Anne was originally scheduled to perform 20 out of the 35 engagements for July, as was originally reported by GB News.

However, Buckingham Palace swiftly removed the royal's engagements for the first two weeks of July, as she is still recovering after suffering minor injuries last month.

Gert's Royals reported over the weekend: "The diary on @RoyalFamily website has been updated to remove Princess Anne's engagement next week, as she is still recovering from her accident last month."

Despite this, Anne's engagements from July 15 onwards have been kept visible in the Royal Diary.

GB News has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.

On June 24, Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Anne sustained a concussion and minor injuries in a horse-related accident at her country home the day prior, and was hospitalised as a "precautionary measure".

In a statement, the Palace said: "The Princess Royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate yesterday evening. 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."

Due to the concussion that Princess Anne sustained, the exact details of the accident are unknown.

However, her injuries are consistent with a potential impact from a horse's head or legs.

Princess Anne's injuries meant she could not attend the Buckingham Palace banquet that King Charles threw on June 25 in honour of the Japanese State Visit, and her trip to Canada later that week was also cancelled on medical advice.

The royal was discharged from the hospital on June 28, and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, thanked the Southmead Hospital team for "their care, expertise and kindness" during her stay.

It is understood that Princess Anne will continue to recuperate at her Gatcombe Park home and resume royal duties when her medical team gives her the green light.
