The presenter's 8.7 million followers rushed to comment on the post as they offered their well wishes to Princess Anne.

A second offered: "It's concerning to hear about Princess Anne's accident, and I join you in wishing her a speedy recovery. Accidents can happen unexpectedly, even to the most resilient individuals. It's reassuring that she is expected to recover fully, and I hope she receives the best possible care during her time in the hospital."

"Happy to hear she will make a full recovery," a third remarked.

The Princess Royal, a skilled horsewoman who competed in the 1976 Montreal Olympics, is understood to be awake, but due to Anne’s concussion, the precise details cannot be ascertained at the moment.

The 73-year-old remains in Southmead Hospital, Bristol, "as a precautionary measure for observation" but is expected to make a full and swift recovery.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement: "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."
