Today, Anne was given a tour of the building and, including Intensive Care Unit, while she also heard from staff the work that they do.
She then viewed the Air Ambulance Helicopter pad and staff garden.
The princess was also treated to a performance by the hospital staff’s choir in the main public atrium.
Last month, Anne revealed that but made a chilling, 10-word remark, saying how “[she was] sharply reminded that every day is a bonus”.
Anne said she was on the way to see chickens on her estate when the accident happened but has no memory of what followed.
She told the Press Association: “It just reminds you, shows you – you never quite know, something (happens) and you might not recover.”

Following her five-night hospitalisation, the princess spent three weeks recuperating at home before returning to public duties.
Asked about any lasting ill effects, she lightened the mood and joked: “Apparently not, at least I don’t think so. As far as I know nobody else thinks so – they haven’t been honest enough to tell me yet. So far so good.
“You are sharply reminded that every day is a bonus really.”
Southmead Hospital is part of the North Bristol NHS Trust, which is one of the largest hospital trusts in the UK featuring over 13,000 staff.
