Lady Colin Campbell taken to hospital in ambulance
According to The Sun, an ambulance was called for Lady C.
Those close to the 76 year old claim that she has broken her pelvis. She’s now said to be under medical supervision in hospital. Lady C was at a screening of a film when the incident happened.
A friend claimed: “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.”
Lady Colin Campbell’s reps have been approached for comment.

Lady C’s encounter with Queen Elizabeth II
In an interview earlier this year, Lady C spoke about her links to royalty.
When asked if any of her dogs had encountered royalty, she told The Times in June: “Tum-Tum and Popsie Miranda once met Queen Elizabeth II — with almost fatal consequences. When I lived at Lochmore House in Belgravia, the queen used to visit one of her former ladies-in-waiting there, who had an upstairs flat.
“On one occasion I was coming out of my ground-floor flat just as Queen Elizabeth’s host was curtsying goodbye. As I emerged, out shot Tum-Tum and Popsie Miranda, who raced through the open inner doors. The queen, thinking she was being helpful, jumped forward and opened the outer doors, unaware that she was putting their lives in jeopardy.”
Lady C added: “I shrieked and fled past her, little thinking I was in serious danger of knocking over the reigning monarch. The queen realised her mistake immediately, but it was too late. The dogs escaped. When I discovered that all was well, I immediately dropped a curtsy and apologised. The queen apologised too, and said she had been silly.”
