In an astonishing display of fortitude, Princess Anne, 74, made a triumphant comeback to riding a horse, a year after a harrowing mishap at Gatcombe Park left her hospitalized for five long days. This momentous occasion found her taking to the saddle alongside her esteemed kin, including her brother, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, 61, and her dynamic nephew, Prince William, 42, during the grand "Trooping the Colour" parade. Conspicuously absent from the equestrian scene was their sovereign, King Charles III, 76, along with Queen Camilla, 77, who, along with Princess Kate, 43, and her offspring, opted to travel the royal miles in a carriage.
Clad in the regal uniform of the "Blues and Royals," a cavalry regiment of the British Army, Anne rightfully filled the historical role of the "Gold Stick in Waiting," a position dating back to the Tudor era and traditionally responsible for shielding the monarchy. Speculation abounds that the noble steed she graced with her presence was none other than Noble, a mount King Charles had recently wielded, as far back as 2023.
Stunned by Amnesia, Anne Rides On
This display of regal courage marked a colossal victory for Princess Anne, who, following her terrifying encounter in June 2024, had not graced the equine realm publicly. The traumatic incident translated to a minor head injury and a concussion landing her in a Bristol hospital. Amazingly, just one month later, she recounted her inability to recollect the fateful event during a horse-themed event. Likewise, her hospital stint remained veiled in darkness as she confided she could not recall those painful days during a visit in February. "They patched the gaps for me," she later revealed, "thankfully, for I, alas, hardly remember anything of this place."
Stepping Up at Trooping the Colour, Regally Fearless
Lest it be forgotten, Anne's fascinating presence at the birthday parade for King Charles in 2025 is not her first rodeo; she previously graced the event during her time as Princess Royal in 1981. This time, her participation signified much more than tradition; it symbolized an unwavering determination to maintain her equestrian lineage despite the repercussions of the accident.
Life is a Bonus: Anne's Reflections

Her poignant sentiment underscores a remarkable perspective on life and unwavering resilience in the face of adversity.
