Princess Anne Was ‘Unaware’ of Kate Middleton and Prince William Releasing Supportive Statement After Her Horse Accident

Princess Anneis back to work after a horse accident, but she apparently was in the dark when Prince William and Kate Middleton released a statement in support of the Princess Royal.

According to a source, Anne was “unaware” of the comment.

“The Princess Royal began a gradual return to duties today with a visit to @RDAnational’s Championships at Hartpury University and Hartpury College,” the royal family shared on their official X account on Saturday, July 13.

“Super trooper! So great to see you back so soon! W & C x,” the Wales replied.

Anne left the hospital on Friday, June 28, after getting a concussion, and her husband, Timothy Laurence, updated well-wishers on her condition.

“I would like to extend my warmest thanks to all the team at Southmead Hospital for their care, expertise and kindness during my wife’s short stay,” Laurence said in a statement.
Anne isn’t the only royal returning to the spotlight, as Kate, who is battling cancer, attended the Trooping the Colour and Wimbledon after taking six months off to focus on her recovery. As OK! reported, Kate is expected to spend the summer with the Windsors after a series of health challenges within the family.

“It’s been one heck of a year for the royal family so far and nothing would please the King more than to have his close family gathered together in the peace of Balmoral for a time to take stock together, mark the passing of an incredibly difficult few months and look to the future,” Jennie Bond told an outlet.

“Like Catherine herself has said, cancer treatment brings with it a large measure of uncertainty and that must extend to whether she is able to spend part of the summer holidays at Balmoral,” she added. “If she does go, I’m sure the whole family will want to surround her with love, support and renewed strength.”

Typically, William and Kate dedicate the season to creating memories with their three kids,Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, but the princess’ diagnosis won’t change that tradition.

“She, meanwhile, will want to make the summer months as fun and carefree for the children as she possibly can after everything she’s been through,” Bond noted.

While in Scotland, the Windsors are able to take a step back from duties.

“Just like in the late Queen’s reign, time at Balmoral is family time,” Bond explained. “And, if the King gets the chance, he will relish the chance to hang out with his grandchildren by reading them stories, teaching them about the wildlife around them, playing cards and enjoying picnics… weather permitting!”

“The summer stay up there has always been a time primarily for family for a gathering in the peace of the Scottish countryside after the busyness and noise of their working lives in London and elsewhere. It’s a ‘breathe, relax and be still’ kind of place, and that’s what they all love about it,” she added.

Charles and Kate are both undergoing cancer treatment, so the time together will be valuable for the famous brood.

“And, this year, more than ever, they all need to gather themselves and re-group for what they must all hope will be better days to come,” the commentator added of the royal family.

Insiders spoke to The Mail.

Queen Camilla Wears the Diamond Diadem for the Second Time
Story by Emily Burack
• 1d • 2 min read

At today’s State Opening of Parliament, Queen Camilla wore the Diamond Diadem for the second time ever. Camilla first wore the Diamond Diadem, also called the George IV State Diadem or the State Diadem, at last year’s State Opening. The occasion, which happened to fall on her 77th birthday, is a historic tradition as King Charles reads the King’s Speech.

The Diamond Diadem was made by Rundell, Bridge and Rundell in 1820—its original purpose was King George IV’s coronation, to encircle his Cap of Estate that he wore in procession to Westminster Abbey. In the decades since, it has been regularly worn by Queens and Queens Consort since Queen Adelaide (the wife of King William IV). In fact, Queen Elizabeth wore it every year to the State Opening of Parliament, and on the way to her coronation in 1953. In 1991, Queen Elizabeth agreed to have the Diadem on display with the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London.
Per the Royal Collection Trust, the diadem is silver and gold-lined and set with 1,333 diamonds. At the center of the front cross, there is a four-carat pale yellow brilliant diamond, and its four sprays represent the national emblems of England, Ireland and Scotland; roses, shamrocks and thistles.

Since becoming Queen, Camilla has worn a number of tiaras from the royal vaults, including the Burmese Ruby Tiara at last month’s State Banquet in honor of Japan’s Emperor Nahurito and Empress Masako and the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara in December at a Diplomatic Corps reception.
