Royalty Dislodged
Prince Henry, third son of the King, was thrown from a restive horse at Aldershot and suffered a broken ankle. The Prince went to the aid of a recruit who was having some difficulty with his horse. Mounting in place of the trooper the Prince was getting the animal fairly in hand when it threw him and rolled on him. Thus is the reputation of the House of Windsor well sustained, the King, Wales and Henry all having been thrown at one time or another --Wales leading, of course. Prince Henry William Frederick Albert is the fourth child of the King and Queen, and their third son. He was born on March 31, 1900. Unlike his elder brothers, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York, he is not well known to the public, having been fully occupied with his military vocation since he entered Sandhurst, England's principal military academy. Only on rare occasions during the past few years has he attended any public function in an official capacity.
