Prince Harry had a wonderful time participating in the Royal Salute Polo Challenge organized by Sentebale. Prince Harry expressed his gratitude for being part of the Royal Salute Polo Challenge, which raised funds for Sentebale, a charity he co-founded. He emphasized the importance of bringing the Polo Community together to support Sentebale's impactful programs. These programs provide hope, education, and support to children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana, helping them navigate challenges such as unemployment, poverty, and the effects of HIV/AIDS.
We extend our appreciation to the guests, sponsors, and partners who joined forces to support this vital cause. A special thank you goes to the players for making the game happen. Prince Harry, who established Sentebale with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, participated in a polo match at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Florida, representing the Royal Salute Sentebale team. Harry's team emerged victorious with a 3-1 win against the Grand Champions team on Friday.
Harry's team even secured victory over the Duke's close friend and professional polo player Nacho Figueras. "It is a great privilege for me to play alongside my friend Prince Harry in support of Sentebale," Figueras stated. As an ambassador for the nonprofit, the collaboration goes beyond just playing a game; it represents a joint dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of those in need.
Megan Markle, Harry's wife and The Duchess of Sussex, presented Harry's team with a trophy to celebrate their victory. Megan stunned everyone with her elegant appearance, wearing a beautiful white Heidi Merrick halter dress with Aisera heels, vintage Chanel earrings, a Valentino clutch, and oversized sunglasses. She also shared a sweet kiss with Harry while presenting him with the award.
In addition to playing polo, Harry led a discussion with Dr. Sophie Chand Dera and Hailemeeten from Sentebale, focusing on the organization's future goals and the persistent challenges facing African children. Dr. Chand Dera mentioned in a statement that as Sentebale approaches its 20th anniversary in two years, the ongoing supportive reception from every community where their fundraising events take place emphasizes the significance of their work. The support provided by Sentebale's programs is crucial to the children and youth who benefit from it, helping them realize their potential and overcome the obstacles of poverty and inequality to succeed in the future.
