Surrounded by cameras and wrapped in great expectation, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been the main protagonists in a charity polo tournament
Prince Harry (39) and Meghan Markle (42) have taken center stage in the Royal Salute Polo Challenge charity polo tournament that was held this Friday, April 12 in Wellington (Florida) to raise funds for the Duke's charity association of Sussex: Sentebale, which is responsible for helping citizens of Lesotho and Botswana (Africa), especially children and adolescents, who have HIV disease.
The youngest son of Charles III, dressed in a navy blue and white uniform, has climbed onto the horse to join the ranks of the Sentebale team. In addition to his good harmony with the rest of the players, Prince Harry has shown great skill in this equine discipline, achieving victory for his team, which has been proclaimed champion by a tight score of 1-0 thanks to the goal that the Duke of Sussex scored in the second half of the game.
The proud athletes have received the long-awaited trophy from Meghan Markle. “Well done to everyone,” the former star of the series Suits congratulated them as she stood on the podium with them. A celebration to which Harry from England wanted to put the finishing touch by giving his wife a movie kiss. A gesture of affection with which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have once again demonstrated the sweet moment they are experiencing after four years away from the Royal Family in which they have achieved the financial independence they longed for through different business projects such as the two documentaries. that they prepare for Netflix (one about polo and another about cooking, gardening and wellness) and Meghan's online product store, American Rivera Orchad.
An image of happiness that contrasts with the delicate moment that the British monarchy is going through after the cancer diagnosis of King Charles III and the Princess of Wales became public. After learning of his father's illness, Prince Harry made an express trip to London, where he met with the monarch for 45 minutes. In the same way, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sent a message of support to Kate Middleton.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex enjoyed this sporting event in the company of Nacho Figueras, the Argentine polo player who is a close friend of Prince Harry, his wife Delphina Blaquier and his daughter Alba. Meghan Markle has had a very tender encounter with the girl with whom she merged into a big hug as soon as she saw her. Furthermore, as the British magazine HELLO! has learned, the little girl was very interested in knowing why Lilibeth Diana (2) had not been able to go with them.
An event in which Serena Williams has also been present. It must be remembered that the former tennis player and Meghan Markle met in 2014, when the Duchess of Sussex was not yet Prince Harry's partner, at a charity event and they forged a beautiful friendship. Since then, the winner of 23 Grand Slams has been at Meghan and Prince Harry's side at some of the most important events in her life, such as her wedding in 2018 at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
