Following past patterns of behavior, it can be determined that these are the only royal family members that Princess Anne will listen to during her hospital stay as she recovers from head injuries.
One of the doctors who treated the Princess Royal in 2016 following her chest infection revealed to the ‘Mail‘, “The best advice is to keep her husband, Sir Tim Laurence, or one of the children [Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall] on hand“, and he added, “They’re the only people who can tell her to behave“.
Everything seems to indicate that he was not wrong because this morning the first person who approached the Southmead Hospital in Bristol was the former Royal Navy officer, Sir Tim Laurence, to whom she has been married for 32 years, and he gave an update on Princess Anne, assuring that her recovery is “doing fine, slow but sure”.
Afterwards, her daughter Zara Tindall came to the hospital to visit her mother and to offer her pleasant company for about an hour; however, at the end of her visit, she did not provide any information regarding the state of health of the royal; she only greeted the cameras and left the place.
