In a candid moment that reminds us why she's the most no-nonsense royal, Princess Anne revealed that she has no memory of her 2024 horse accident—and that she's grateful to still have her wits about her after a mysterious incident that left her with a concussion and memory loss.
According to BBC News, the Princess Royal, 74, quipped that she's "jolly lucky" to still be "more or less compos mentis" (Latin for "being in full possession of one's mind") following the accident, adding, "and last summer I was very close to not being." She made the comments to the Press Association while visiting South Africa over the weekend, and her trip included an outing to a riding school for the disabled.
