Happy Birthday to the Princess Royal.

Not just a regular on the list of hard-working Royals each year but a great mom and grandmother. Beautiful exemplar. This year, please ensure the protection officer watches the horses.

The birthday messages will surely be welcomed by Princess Anne who recently returned to public duties after she was admitted to hospital after suffering a concussion. 

The Princess Royal was reportedly kicked by a horse on her Gloucestershire property on Sunday, June 23, sustaining minor head injuries and a concussion. Emergency services were dispatched to the estate, and after receiving medical care at the scene, the Princess was taken to hospital to undergo further tests, treatment, and observation.

Although it appeared that Anne would delay her upcoming royal engagements during her recovery, the Princess made a welcome return to the public eye on Friday, July 12, attending the Riding for the Disabled Association National Championships held in western England.

Royal fans were thrilled to see Princess Anne return to her public duties, with many eagerly welcoming the beloved royal back to the public eye.
