, often rocking Duchess Sophie's chic ensembles for royal occasions, but that's not the only way the 19-year-old St. Andrews student takes after her mother.In photos from May 1999, the Duchess of Edinburgh rides a handsome dark horse in Windsor Great Park, trotting alongside Prince Edward, whom she married the following month.
Prince Edward's wife had an X-ray at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Windsor, which revealed she had broken a rib and badly bruised several others.Sophie was sent home with painkillers to ease the discomfort – broken ribs tend to be left to heal on their own, as there's not much that can be done to splint or support them., resulting in a broken arm, which caused much distress to her mother, who immediately cancelled her engagements for the day to be by her daughter's side.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said at the time: "Lady Louise broke her left arm after falling from her pony while riding at Windsor this morning. She has been treated by doctors and is now resting at home."The Countess of Wessex was supposed to go to Manchester today with the Earl but understandably stayed with her daughter."
