Buckingham Palace later announced that she had been hospitalised after suffering a concussion and minor injuries from what is believed to be a horse kick.

The prince escorted them to Horse Guard’s Parade where they then enjoyed a ceremonial welcome from King Charles and Queen Camilla to mark the start of their three-day visit.

But the abstract paintings, which depict Prince Harry as Bonnie Prince Charlie and Meghan Markle as Dame Elizabeth Grey, have received a strong reaction online.

One commentator on X, formerly Twitter, admits to having fallen to the floor laughing upon seeing the portraits, while a second likened the abstract works to the new, red portrait of King Charles.

The Princess Royal will spend a period of convalescence following her discharge from hospital where she was treated for concussion after being struck by a horse.

The King’s sister, 73, spent five nights at Southmead Hospital in Bristol after being hurt while walking on her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire on Sunday evening.

Anne departed privately on Friday morning without being seen and has returned to her country home near Minchinhampton, 30 miles away.

A new photograph of the King in military uniform has been released on Armed Forces Day, held annually on the last Saturday of June for the country to show its support for veterans, service families, cadets and those still serving.

In the new portrait the King, who is head of the Armed Forces, is wearing his Field Marshal No 1 full ceremonial frock coat with medals, sword and decorations.

The photograph was taken in the Grand Corridor at Windsor Castle, last November by Hugo Burnand, a favourite photographer of the royal family who took the official coronation photographs.

According to experts, the first 48 hours after a concussion are the most crucial monitoring time.

However, the NHS reports that symptoms including a headache, confusion and a loss of memory can persist for up to two weeks.

Those with a concussion are advised to take paracetamol, but they are advised against taking anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin or ibuprofen, which can result in bleeding.

A cold compress is also recommended to reduce swelling in the affected area.

Princess Anne was scheduled to visit Canada tomorrow (30 June) to mark the 100th anniversary of the National War Memorial in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

She was forced to cancel the trip after she sustained a concussion and minor injuries after being kicked by a horse on her Gloucestershire estate.

The Princess Royal, 73, was released from hospital in Bristol yesterday after a five-night stay.

A royal insider has claimed that Prince Harry feels like he “doesn’t exist anymore” amid his seemingly frosty relationship with the royal family.

“He continues to be heartbroken and confused by the way he’s being treated by the royals. It’s as though he doesn’t exist anymore,” the insider told Closer magazine.

This comes after Charles was unable to see his youngest son on his most recent trip to the UK, citing his busy schedule.

Queen Camilla has shared a poignant message to mark Armed Services Day (29 June) and described Britain’s soldiers as a “source of inspiration, reassurance and pride”.

Describing herself as a “proud daughter of an Army officer”, the Queen Consort thanked those in the Armed Forces for “everything you do to protect this country of ours”.

This comes after King Charles and Queen Camilla travelled to Normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of the War D-Day landings on 6 June.

She said: “Eight decades later, I know that same spirit and those same qualities remain much in evidence throughout our Armed Forces, as you undertake your duties in the face of a multitude of challenges and dangers.

“In so doing, you not only protect these Isles, but also defend liberties way beyond these shores. Your determination, unrelenting efforts and selfless loyalty to each other and to the United Kingdom are as enduring as our gratitude.”
