Personal life


Hugh Thomas is the godfather of Zara Philips.[4]



London 2012 Resignation


In June 2012, in protest at the decision by LOCOG to ban spectators from attending the horse inspections in violation of FEI rules, Thomas resigned his position as a member of the ad hoc committee, branding it as "disgraceful".[5][6] He had previously fought to ensure the inspection was open in two previous games with this announcement going viral.[7]
