Lady Sarah McCorquodale Hospitalised After Horse Fall

Lady Sarah McCorquodale, 70 and the sister of the late Princess Diana, was hospitalised last month after what her brother Charles Spencer described on Gyles Brandreth’s Rosebud podcast as a “really bad” fall while horse‑riding. Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, said she has been “quite punchy” and “quite a handful” as a patient and that a lead doctor called her “quite a character.” The exact nature and extent of her injuries has not been disclosed publicly, though multiple outlets describe the incident as serious and say she has been in hospital for an extended period. The episode has been reported in the context of her long-standing feisty reputation, and news organisations say they are monitoring the situation for further updates.
