Royal family member breaks both wrists after falling down Kensington Palace staircase
Princess Michael of Kent broke both of her wrists after falling down the stairs of Kensington Palace.
According to GB News, the 79-year-old was carrying some overcoats when the accident happened. The media outlet reported that it made her break "multiple small bones when putting her hands out to break her fall."
Princess Michael recently went to King Charles' pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace with wrist splints, per Daily Mail.
The royal family member briefly talked about the fall in an interview with Majesty Magazine. "So many things that you rely on being able to do, like cleaning your teeth, are impossible," she said. "I can type with one finger on a mobile, but I can’t use a laptop."
"I am told that, after an accident like this, if you do one wrong movement on top of the unhealed bones, you are back where you started," she said.
This comes a year after she underwent heart surgery.
"It shocked me. I still have to rest every afternoon," she said as she looked back on the procedure.
According to PEOPLE Magazine, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent are not working royals so they don't receive money from the public. The couple, however, backs various charities and accompanies the royals at family events just like their children.
