Prince William and Kate Middleton React to Princess Anne’s Return in Public Message

The Prince and Princess of Wales reacted to the return of Princess Anne to royal duties with a rare social media message on Saturday.

“Super trooper! So great to see you back so soon! W & C x,” the royal couple penned on Instagram and X.

It was announced that the Princess Royal had begun her “gradual return” to duties on Friday with a visit to Riding for the Disabled Association’s Championships at Hartpury University and Hartpury College.

This marks Princess Anne’s first public appearance since she was hospitalized in June following an incident at her home on the Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire. The royal had sustained “minor injuries” including a concussion from a horse-related incident.

The rare message from King Charles’ son and his wife comes just after Kensington Palace revealed that Kate will make an appearance at the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday and present the winner’s trophy.

The Princess, who continues to undergo preventative chemotherapy for cancer, will be seen for the first time since she attended the King’s birthday parade, otherwise known as Trooping the Colour, on 15 June.

Her appearance in the royal carriage with her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, was the first since the news of her cancer diagnosis was announced in March.

Princess Anne visited the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Championships, marking her return to royal duties.

Princess Anne was admitted to Southmead Hospital in Bristol on 24 June following the incident. During her time in hospital, Buckingham Palace released a statement which said: “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.”

Following a visit to his wife in hospital, Sir Timothy Laurence assured the media that the Princess was “doing fine, slow but sure,” having taken her a “few little treats from home.”

The Princess is a hard-working royal who keeps a busy schedule of public-facing events. Prior to her accident, Anne attended day three of Royal Ascot 2024, alongside her cousin Lady Sarah Chatto, wearing a floral blue outfit.

Princess Anne has now started to gradually resume her official duties, much to the joy and relief of the royal family and the public.
