Lady Sarah McCorquodale Hospitalized After Horse Fall

Lady Sarah McCorquodale, 70, Princess Diana’s eldest sister, suffered a “really bad fall” from her horse last month and has been hospitalized “for a long time,” her brother Charles Spencer said on the Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth podcast. Specific details of her injuries have not been released, but a family friend told People she is “on the mend” while still receiving hospital care. Spencer described her as “quite a character” and recounted anecdotes including that she briefly dated the future King Charles; the report noted the accident follows Princess Anne’s recent equestrian fall. Despite wider royal tensions, Lady Sarah and her sister Lady Jane remain on good terms with Princes William and Harry and have continued to participate in family memorial events for Diana.
