Prince Harry showcased his equestrian prowess on the polo field during a charitable match in Singapore on Saturday, August 12th. The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex participated in the annual Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup as a member of the Royal Salute Sentable team. Donning a blue team uniform, Harry was seen gracefully riding his stallion in an attempt to secure points with his mallet. His team, led by his close friend and professional polo player Nacho Figueras, faced the home team of the Singapore Polo Club in this thrilling competition.
The Saturday match concluded with a 7-7 draw, resulting in both teams being awarded the trophy. All the proceeds from the event were donated to the Sentebale foundation, which was cofounded by the duke and his close friend Prince Seeiso in 2006. The nonprofit aims to provide support to young Africans who are living with HIV and AIDS.
Harry, speaking about his encounter with the 57-year-old prince of Lesotho in his Harry & Meghan docuseries released on Netflix in December 2022, described it as a remarkable experience. He mentioned how they quickly formed a deep bond after riding their horses to his cattle post, resembling brothers in no time.
The friendship between the two princes blossomed rapidly as they connected over their shared royal positions, passion for advocacy, and the tragic loss of their beloved mothers: Princess Diana and Queen Mamohato Bereng Seeiso. In an interview for the docuseries, Seeiso remarked, "I could see that Harry embodies the spirit of his mother."
