The royal family looked wonderful, united at Trooping the Colour: Kinsey Schofield
Royal correspondent Kinsey Schofield tells ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ that Catherine, the Princess of Wales, might have entered the public eye Saturday to quell ‘malicious rumors online.’
Princess Anne has been discharged from Southmead Hospital in Bristol, England, after suffering a concussion and minor injuries from a horse-related incident last weekend.
The sister of King Charles III is now recovering at her Gatcombe Park country home after spending five nights in the hospital, according to People magazine.
"I would like to extend my warmest thanks to the team at Southmead Hospital for their care, expertise and kindness during my wife’s short stay," Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, said in a statement obtained by the outlet.
Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The Princess Royal's injuries occurred on Sunday while she was walking at her estate in southwestern England. She was admitted to the hospital on Monday as a precautionary measure.
"The king has been kept closely informed and joins the whole royal family in sending his fondest love and well-wishes to the princess for a speedy recovery," the palace said in a statement at the time.

The only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip received praise last year for being the hardest-working member of the royal family.
Anne is known for her businesslike approach to a busy schedule of public appearances. She took part in 457 royal engagements last year, compared with 425 for the king, 172 for William and 123 for Kate, according to statistics compiled by the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
