EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a thrilling polo match between Prince Charles and Princess Diana's friend, Major James Hewitt. The intensity of the battle is palpable as both players fiercely compete on the field. As Major Hewitt challenges the prince, the commentator can be heard exclaiming, "Oh, I say! That riding off was a bit rough". It is evident that no punches are being pulled in this exhilarating encounter. Despite Charles' determined riding skills, it was ultimately the Gulf heroes team who emerged victorious with a 4-1 win at Windsor. The polo prizes were graciously presented by another member of royalty - Princess Beatrice. At just two years old, she already embodies her family's regal elegance as she assists in honoring the winners. This snapshot captures not only an exciting sporting event but also offers us a glimpse into the lives of British royalty during the early 1990s. With its rich historical context and iconic figures such as Prince Charles and Princess Diana involved, this image becomes even more significant. Preserved by Kent Gavin through his lens on July 16th, 1991, this photograph transports us back to an era where horseback sports like polo held great importance within English society. It serves as a reminder of both tradition and competition intertwined within royal circles while showcasing their love for equestrian pursuits.
