in the british team. great britain was represented by george bowman... - his fellow teammate george bowman was one of the more unlikely friendships the prince made in his sporting life. i was a scrap merchant. and of course, he was a prince. and at times people made a lot about this. but he never treated me any different, he always looked at me like an equal. and that was one of the things i really admired about him. despite some hair raising spills along the way, such as here when his carriage hit a concrete block, the duke carried on driving well into old age. in greek, the name philip means lover of horses, and the way he handled his animals was a measure of both the man and his sportsmanship.
