The woman was between 80 and 90 years old, police said. She is in critical condition in the hospital.
In an accident with a motorcycle escorted by Duchess Sophie, an elderly woman was critically injured. “The Duchess’ heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the injured lady and her family,” Buckingham Palace said. King Charles III’s sister-in-law is grateful to the rescue workers for their quick deployment, it said in the brief statement.
It was initially unclear how the accident happened on Wednesday afternoon in the West London area of Earl’s Court. The police only said that a woman between the ages of 80 and 90 had been taken to hospital after a collision with a police motorcycle and was in critical condition.
According to media reports, Duchess Sophie was on her way to a garden party at Buckingham Palace. The 58-year-old is married to Prince Edward, the king’s youngest brother, and frequently performs public duties on behalf of the royal family.
