Zara Tindall has been to a Bristol hospital to see her mother, Princess Anne, who is recuperating from a minor head injury sustained in an unfortunate horse-related incident this past weekend. The Princess Royal was hurt on Sunday evening (June 23) and taken swiftly to the hospital, having also suffered a concussion due to the accident.

Zara was spotted at the Bristol hospital earlier this week on Tuesday, June 24, following her mum's husband Sir Timothy Laurence's nearly two-hour visit during lunchtime where he provided an update on her health situation. Styled casually with all-denim attire and trainers, Zara was spotted heading to the hospital in the sunny weather.

Our Royal fashionista wore denim shorts, a rolled-up sleeve denim shirt along with a beige handbag and grey Adidas trainers. Completing the look were brown sunglasses and a high ponytail hairstyle, reports the Express.

Earlier, Sir Timothy mentioned that Anne is "doing fine" as he was spotted leaving the hospital. Dressed in an open-collar shirt and blazer, and carrying what looked like a blue cool bag.

On being asked about his Royal delivery for the princess, Sir Tim stated: "Just a few little treats from home."

Waving at the gathered reporters outside the hospital, he dropped the bag into the back seat of his Range Rover before hopping into the driver's seat and driving off. It's believed that Anne, known for her skilled horsemanship and a participant at the Montreal Olympics in 1976, sustained the kick while strolling around her Gatcombe Park estate on Sunday.

Emergency services, including an air ambulance, were called to the scene in Gloucestershire where the princess was treated. She was then transported by road to Southmead Hospital for further tests and observation.

While the exact cause of her injuries remains unknown, medical professionals have suggested that they are consistent with a potential impact from a horse's head or legs.

It is believed that the incident occurred within the secure boundaries of Gatcombe Park, with no other individuals thought to be involved.
