The Cotswolds estate where Princess Royal lives with her horses

Princess Anne, the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II, is currently recovering in hospital after it is believed she was kicked in the head by one of her horses.

Anne, a skilled horsewoman, was walking on her Gloucestershire estate on Sunday evening (June 23) when she was injured. An air ambulance and emergency services were sent to the estate and, after being treated at the scene, the princess was transferred to Southmead Hospital in Bristol by road for tests, treatment and observation.

Her home is the sprawling Gatcombe Estate just a stone's throw away from her brother King Charles III's country retreat.

Born in 1950 at Clarence House, the 73 year old is 16th in line to the throne and carved out a successful career as an equestrian during the 1970s. She clinched one gold medal in 1971 and two silver medals in 1975 at the European Eventing Championships, and a year later, she made history by becoming the first member of the British Royal family to compete in the Olympic Games.

Her daughter, Zara Tindall, continued the family's equestrian tradition. Zara, who tied the knot with ex-rugby player Mike Tindall in 2011, won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympics, which was presented to her by her mother, a member of the International Olympic Committee.

Princess Anne has been married twice. Her first marriage was to Captain Mark Phillips in 1973, with whom she shares two children, Zara and Peter.

The couple divorced in 1992, and shortly after, Anne wed Sir Timothy Laurence, whom she had met while he served as her mother's equerry, or head of stable.

Where does Princess Anne live?

Princess Anne and Sir Timothy reside at Gatcombe Park, a sprawling estate in Gloucestershire that they share with Zara and Mike Tindall. The Queen purchased the property for Princess Anne and her first husband in 1976 for a sum believed to be around £750,000 - a figure that would exceed £6million in today's currency.

Just six miles away lies Highgrove House, the country home of Anne's brother, King Charles III. Following their divorce, Captain Phillips and his new wife continued to live on the estate for several years before relocating to America.

Gatcombe Park plays host to some of the world's most prestigious horse eventing shows, drawing over 40,000 spectators to the Festival of British Eventing each August.

In addition to her Royal duties, Princess Anne is a patron of more than 300 organisations spanning sports, science, and disability charities. She has been involved with Save the Children since her early twenties and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990.
