The Duke of Sussex has been away from his family for the past few days, but he will soon be with Meghan Markle, their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and other family members.
To participate in a charity polo match on Saturday for Sentebale, the organization he co-founded in 2014 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to aid vulnerable young people in Lesotho and Botswana, Prince Harry flew from Japan to Singapore.
Harry spent his final day apart from his family playing in the Royal Salute Sentebale Team against the Singapore Polo Club Team, which was led by charity ambassador and close friend Nacho Figueras. Harry is leaving Singapore on Saturday evening to fly back to his home in Montecito, California.
I have no doubt that Meghan is eagerly anticipating the arrival of her husband. She was photographed on Thursday wearing an anti-stress bracelet while out by herself.
Nacho admitted that he and Harry “miss our wives very much” in an interview with HELLO! before the game and revealed their plans to go back home. He told us, “We miss them, we wish they were here.”
We will soon see them because we are returning tonight. Polo will be played, followed by a dinner for those who have been so helpful before we depart.
Harry and Nacho, who usually play polo on the same team, were rivals on Saturday, so it was a happy day for both of them. Despite the game’s 7-7 draw outcome, Nacho insisted that the event wasn’t about winning.
He said, “We have played together for a few years, and today we play against each other which is always fun,” when speaking of his and Harry’s sporting rivalry. We already played a game of foosball that he wanted to bring up because he defeated me, and we have been making jokes about it for a few days.
But, Nacho continued, “Ask him what transpired during our most recent tennis match… It will be a good game; after all, our main goal is to raise money for charity, not to win.
The annual Polo Cup is essential to Sentebale’s vital work ensuring children and young people are healthy, resilient, and able to thrive, said father of two Harry prior to the game. The money raised this year will go toward our Clubs and Camps program, which offers young people living with HIV intensive psychosocial support.
We are empowering young people to know their status, maintain their health, and end stigma so they can break the cycle in an era where having HIV is no longer a death sentence.
We are excited to play at the prestigious Singapore Polo Club again in August and, as always, are incredibly appreciative of the polo community and our sponsors, especially ISPS Handa, for their ongoing support of the youth of Lesotho and Botswana.
Harry and Nancho have gone shopping while they’ve been away, and according to the Argentine polo player, they “bought a few little things to keep our wives and children happy.” As a result, they won’t be returning home empty-handed.
