The Princess Royal, Anne, has made her first public appearance since suffering a concussion in a horse-related incident. The incident occurred while she was out walking on June 23, resulting in a five-night hospital stay. Anne's return to public duties began with a visit to the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Championships at Hartpury University and Hartpury College in Gloucestershire.
The RDA, celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, has had a long-standing relationship with the princess. Anne has been the patron of the association since 1971 and became its president in 1986. Upon her arrival at the event, she was warmly welcomed by the association's chairwoman and chief executive.
