Making concessions to one's age.

It appears that Charles has seen sense, and given up polo. It has also been reported, that his papa, gave up at 50, and took up carriage driving, and Charles might follow in his footsteps, once again. It is debateable, which is the more dangerous sport. Prince Philip has 'lost his seat' numerous times, which also had the potential to be just as risky to his bones, and his life in general,as falling off his horse at polo. I hope Camilla can prevail upon him to find something less hazardous to his health, if he wants to 'make old bones', and/or ascend the throne, eventually. It is widely reported, that when Charles was growing up, his father thought he was too soft, and was always trying to toughen him up. I don't think any one could say he is a 'wus' as polo is not a sport for the faint hearted
