Prince Charles has always been close to his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, however there was a time when a terrible accident almost tore the family apart.
WATCH: Prince Charles recalls terrible accident in front of Harry and William
It’s well known that Charles, William and Harry all love sport, particularly polo.
Their games haven’t been without injury, however.
Back in 2006 the royals were interviewed by British TV presenters Ant and Dec for the Prince’s Trust, which was when they revealed what had happened during one of their previous matches when they played polo together.
In the footage, Charles explained: “We really wanted to win.
“And I get this usual stuff, ‘silly old father, get on with it’, kind of thing.”
William interjected: “That was the politest thing I said.”
Charles said: “I was trying too hard, I remember, I had to turn the pony very fast.
“The next thing, the pony came down, so I must have landed absolutely on my head.
“Anyway, it completely felled me. I ended up being taken to hospital.
“When I finally woke up, this person here [pointed to Harry], told me later that he thought when I was lying on the ground.
“He thought, ‘Oh Papa’s just snoring’!”
Charles added: “There I was, busily swallowing my tongue, quietly dying!”
There was laughter from both Harry, William and Ant and Dec before Charles continued: “Can you imagine, they tried to kill me so they could walk off with my ponies!”
Harry interrupted with a smile: “And the rest!”
William added that they worked very well as a team, but when one of them did something wrong there were always “two very stern faces looking at you”.
“And then you get the b*ll*ck*ng afterwards!” he explained.
It’s not known when the three princes will be seen together again after Harry stepped down from his royal role and moved to Canada.
The COVID-19 crisis is also keeping the royals apart.
