The Princess Royal, 74, spent a total of five days in the hospital with head injuries following a horse-related incident last June. The ordeal has left her with minor wounds to the head, which are consistent with impact from a horse's head or legs. The royal — who is King Charles' only sister — was concussed and experienced subsequent memory loss after she was struck by a horse on the grounds of her Gatcombe Park estate. 5 The royals have been forced to hit the brakes on their busy schedule as a result of the accident. / Speaking about the ordeal the following month, Anne told the BBC, 'It just reminds you, shows you — you never quite know, something [happens] and you might not recover.' The princess added that the experience taught her that 'every day is a bonus.' 'You're jolly lucky…if you can continue to be more or less compos mentis, and last summer I was very close to not being. Take each day as it comes, they say.' Advertisement It's not the first time Anne has experienced memory loss as a result of a horse-related incident. At the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal — at which she represented Great Britain — the then-26-year-old suffered a bad jump that prompted her to fall. 5 The 21-year-old is the heir to the Dutch throne.

Anne — who is often regarded as one of the hardest-working royals within the Firm — is expected to ride horseback at the Trooping the Colour ceremony Saturday alongside Prince William and Prince Edward.
