EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking front cover image from The Tatler magazine, dated July 1962, showcases Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, in his element as he plays polo for Windsor Park against Silver Leys. Known for his exceptional skill on the polo field, the Duke held a handicap of four, making him a formidable player. The photograph captures the Duke in mid-action, focused intently on the game, with his pony poised and ready to charge. The Queen, an avid spectator of her husband's polo matches, can be seen watching from the sidelines, no doubt with a sense of pride and admiration. Princess Anne, who acted as her father's groom, can also be spotted in the background, ensuring that all was in order for the Duke and his mount. Polo was a beloved sport of the royal family, and Windsor Park, located near their home at Windsor Castle, was the perfect venue for their matches. This photograph provides a rare glimpse into the Duke's private life and his passion for the sporting pursuit. The Duke's polo career spanned several decades, and he continued to play well into his later years, demonstrating his enduring love for the game. The Tatler magazine, a leading British publication known for its high-quality journalism and stunning visuals, captured this moment perfectly, offering readers a unique and intimate look into the life of one of the most famous and respected members of the British monarchy.
