Princess Anne incident

Message withdrawn at poster's request.

Well it wasn’t me. I only asked for my post to be withdrawn. And I didn’t see a post asking for Harry not to be mentioned other than comments regarding what I’d said. As far as I know I was the only person who had mentioned him.

There was nothing particularly wrong with your post, MayBee.

It was the fact that the subject was being continued by another poster, despite a polite request that it shouldn't be followed up on this thread.

Sorry if I've given the wrong impression.

I'd like to know who asked for my post to be withdrawn, because it wasn't me...

Your post was not offensive MayBee ,

Don’t worry I’ll report my offensive post myself and get it removed. I only said it because it’s how I feel and also pointed out how much I admired Princess Anne and was concerned about her.

20 yrs ago I had a large stable of horses, when there is a group of them pushing and barging each other it can be risky, feeding tit bits was not allowed which helped. The only one ever hurt was myself a young horse got frightened and took off.

Southmead Hospital is not far from me. It is a fantastic, flag ship hospital and the staff are wonderful. I have nothing but praise for it.

Thanks GSM and pascal for pointing out confidentiality to Nightsky

I don't think Grannybags's DiL will say much more than "horse and head" in her explanation. At least, I would hope not.

I posted on GN once that I discussed his work with my son, who is an engineer for Hinckley Point, and we got accused of breaking the official secrets act!

Message removed by GNHQ as it quotes a post that we've withdrawn.

I hope you’re not expecting your DiL to talk to you about a patient Nightsky?

I think I just heard on the radio that it was a head butt.

Not malicious, and often done at this time of year just to dislodge flies. Humans have their uses!

Oh MayBee please don’t bring the estrangement into this. Two sides etc

I agree Nightsky Great facilities. We’re lucky to have it as our nearest hospital

Princess Anne has taken some humdingers of falls in cross country in the past. The bulletins say she should be fine. Really unusual for a horse to kick forward, cows usually do that, vv rare for a horse? I think she's a trooper & I know the Royal family aren't elected, but I don't think you'd get a better Princess Royal even if they were.

When it is Princess Charlotte's turn, I think she will do the job in much the same spirit as Princess Anne.

I was concussed after a fall from a horse when I was about 18, not 73. 55 years later I still ave no memory of the accident. I imagine that at her age they will take no chances with the princess.

A young girl we knew was turning her pony into a field when it kicked out. It caught her on the head and she died. Totally accidental.

She is Southmead Hospital which is a fairly modern NHS hospital.

I believe all patients are in individual rooms with their own bathroom

I'm wishing her well as she is my favourite royal, plain speaking, hard working and just gets on with the job without complaining. Hope her recovery is swift.x

Princess Anne is indeed a trooper, a hard worker, and resilient, but she’s also now 73. A serious injury at 73 takes longer to get over than the same injury when she was decades younger.
I wish her well, she’s one of my favourite royals.
