Princess Anne's injury from a horse kick at Gatcombe Park raises concerns for the royal family during a tumultuous time. With King Charles III battling cancer, Princess of Wales fighting illness, and Prince William reducing public appearances to support his family, the royals are stretched thin. Anne's absence adds to the strain, leaving only a few royals unaffected by health issues. Some blame King Charles for not involving more family members in royal duties earlier. However, others defend his decision to streamline the working royals. Despite Anne's history of equestrian injuries, her current hospitalization underscores the aging royal family's vulnerability. As the monarchy faces successive health challenges, concerns arise about its future under King William V. The royal family's struggles reflect a changing era where fewer royals are expected to shoulder increasing responsibilities.
