Autograph note signed Charles".

Beschreibung

8vo. 1 p. An Autograph Note Signed, a draft for a telegram by King Charles (then Prince Charles, H.R.H. The Prince of Wales), undated; however the content of the letter indicates July 1976. To Mr. Riley Smith, Wills International Polo, Smiths Lawn, Windsor, the note reads as follows: "My very best wishes from Montreal to all the organizers of the Wills International Polo Day. I am sorry not to be at Windsor, but an alternative equestrian event has tempted me away. I hope it will be a most successful day. Charles". An enthusiastic Polo player himself, King Charles enjoyed attending the annual Wills International Polo Day event held in Windsor. The year prior, in 1975, he had attended the event with Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia. King Charles understandably did not attend the event in 1976, as he was supporting Princess Anne, who was participating in the 1976 Summer Olympics being held in Montreal. Princess Anne became the first member of the British Royal Family to compete in the Olympic games, riding the Queen s horse, Goodwill, in the three day equestrian event. Princess Anne sustained a concussion halfway through the course, however she re-mounted and finished the event. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 94991
