It is understood Anne was walking around the grounds with horses in the vicinity.

She was admitted to Southmead Hospital in BristolBuckingham Palace said, but has now left after five days of treatment.

During a planned trip to Canada, she was due to attend a ceremony which marks the centenary of the Newfoundland National War Memorial and repatriation of the remains of an unknown Newfoundland soldier from the First World War battlefields of northern France.

In her absence, the Governor General read out a message from the princess.

It said: “It is with deep regret that I am unable to be with you today, as you commemorate the brave efforts and sacrifices of the members of the Newfoundland Regiment who went into battle on the first day of the Somme.

“I have fond memories of joining you in 2016, on the 99th occasion that the people of this Island commemorated the Battle of Beaumont Hamel, and I am deeply saddened that I’m unable to join you again, and I send you my warmest best wishes on this special day of commemoration”.

Her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence said: “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.”

An Air Ambulance was deployed to the scene, but was not required after treatment at the scene.

During her time in hospital, the princess was forced to cancel her upcoming engagements – including a trip to Canada for a planned tour and an appearance at the State Banquet.

In a statement released last week, Buckingham Palace said: “Her Royal Highness is receiving appropriate expert care. No further details are being shared at this stage.

“Her Royal Highness will remain in Southmead Hospital unless or until her medical team advise otherwise.

“On doctors’ advice, Her Royal Highness’s engagements for the week ahead will be postponed.

“Her Royal Highness sends her apologies to any who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result.”
