Henry Bathurst, 8th Earl Bathurst

He later held political office under Harold Macmillan as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1957 to 1961.

He was a Deputy Lieutenant for Gloucestershire from 1960 to 1986, following which he left politics to run the family estate based around Cirencester Park.

He was driving a Land Rover Defender, when Prince William, after playing polo at the club, overtook Lord Bathurst in a Volkswagen Golf car.

Lord Bathurst, unaware of the driver's identity, was infuriated by what he saw as a reckless disregard for the driving rules that guide cooperation between his estate and the polo club.

"[3] No harm was done, as there were no resulting injuries and Clarence House issued a formal apology to Lord Bathurst.
