Princess Michael's accident occured ten months after her son-in-law's sudden death.

She fell off the stairs while carrying an armful of overcoat, causing small injuries.

Opening up on her accident, Princess Michael noted, "So many things that you rely on being able to do, like cleaning your teeth, are impossible."

Marie further revealed, "I can type with one finger on a mobile, but I can’t use a laptop."

She also provided an update on doctor's advice noting, "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."

To note, Kate Middleton, Prince William and their kids Prince George, Louis and Princess Charlotte were not in attendance at Thursday's lunch.

While Charles' disgraced brother, Prince Andrew alongside ex-wife Sarah Ferguson also skipped the event amid mounting pressure to avoid creating any embarrassing situation for the Royal Family.
