HARRY Charles’ gold medal-winning performance for Britain in last Friday’s team final at the Chateau de Versailles in Paris, made sure he and his father, Peter, became the first father and son pairing to win gold medals since 1948.

Harry noted in the post-competition press conference that it was watching his father win gold in London 2012 at the age of 13 that inspired him to take up show jumping as a career goal.
