Lady Colin Campbell taken to hospital in ambulance

Last month, it was reported that Lady C went to hospital after taking a tumble whilst at a hotel in London.

Those close to the 76-year-old claim that she has broken her pelvis. She’s was said to be under medical supervision in hospital. Lady C was at a screening of a film when the incident happened.

A friend claimed to The Sun: “She was going to her seat in the screening room when she fell. It was so badly lit, there was a step with a 15 inch drop and she didn’t see it so basically she stepped out onto nothing.

“The fall was bad and an ambulance was called immediately. Incredibly the paramedic who came in to treat her almost fell down the exact same step because he didn’t see it either.”

The source concluded: “She had an X-ray and the doctors confirmed she had broken her pelvis. She is keeping a brave face on but it’s been rather horrible for her. Luckily, she’s in the best hands now and is being well looked after.”

ED contacted Lady Colin Campbell’s reps for comment.

Lady C may not be able to walk for six months

Now, Lady C has revealed she may not be able to walk for six months after the accident. The royal author is also looking at taking legal action following her injury.

Almost a month on, the star is still in hospital.

Explaining how the accident happened, she told The Sun: “I was invited to sit down, but there was a person between me and my seat, so to avoid stepping over them, I took a step around. I had acclimatised myself to the room — I am a cautious person — but the room is designed to look like it is all on the same level. Where I fell was a radically different level. It was like falling into an abyss. It wasn’t like tripping down a step, which is five to seven inches; it was more like a 12 to 18 inch drop. They (the hotel) have put style before safety.

“There was no lighting, no member of staff with a torch to indicate there was a plunge. I’m in bad shape now. The pain is excruciating,” she then continued.

Lady C also revealed that she is looking to take legal action.

“I hope it can be resolved nicely, but if not, it will be resolved either way. The paramedics almost fell down the drop when they came. This ­cannot happen again,” she said.
