Prince Harry teamed up with his friend Nacho Figueras for another polo match after their charity event in Florida.
A film crew captured the duo on Saturday, April 13, as they enjoyed the match and chatted on the sidelines. This came right after they both took part in the Royal Salute Polo Challenge.
The Duke of Sussex looked cheerful in his baseball hat and sunglasses, along with a grey t-shirt and black jeans. Figueras, on the other hand, wore sunglasses, a black jacket, and dark blue jeans.
The Royal Salute Polo Challenge was organized in support of Harry's charity, Sentebale, and was held at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Florida, on Friday, April 12. Harry played for the Royal Salute Sentebale team, which won against Figueras' Grand Champions team with a score of 3-1.
"It is a great honor to play alongside my friend Prince Harry in support of Sentebale," Figueras, an ambassador for the nonprofit, shared in a statement on Friday. "This goes beyond just playing a game; it is a joint dedication to making a difference in the lives of those who require help. Our goal through our teamwork on the field is to bring attention and assistance to Sentebale's important efforts."

Sentebale was co-founded in 2006 by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. The organization aims to provide support to the youth of Lesotho and Botswana, including healthcare, education, vocational training, and other essential services.
"It is always a wonderful experience to bring together the polo community that has been a long-time supporter of Sentebale," Harry expressed in his statement after the polo match on Friday. He added, "During today's event, we were able to raise funds to help our local teams on the ground provide life-changing programs."
Harry emphasized, "The dedication of the Sentebale team is crucial in transforming the lives of children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana. They offer hope, education, and support to address the social challenges such as high unemployment, poverty, and the impact of HIV/AIDS. We are thankful to all the guests, sponsors, and partners who joined forces today to support this vital cause. A big thank you also goes out to all the players for making today's game a success."
Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, attended Thursday's match together. This was their first public appearance since it was announced that they both have nonfiction projects in the works at Netflix.
Meghan's project, at 42 years old, will center around cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. On the other hand, Harry's series will feature the world of professional polo. The series was primarily filmed at the U.S. Open Polo Championship, as reported by Deadline.
"We’ve been working on this for a long time," Figueras shared with Hello! at the Sentebale polo match last Friday. They were filming footage for the untitled series there. "It was always Harry’s dream and passion to showcase the world of competitive polo and demonstrate the sport at its highest level."
In conclusion, Figueras expressed, "I cannot think of many people who would be better suited than him to kick off this storytelling journey."
