Prince Harry and USA Polo player Marc Ganzi led Sentebale Land Rover to a 4-3 victory over St. Regis in the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup in Greenwich, Connecticut. The 28-year-old Prince Harry made his final US appearance after a week-long trip with stops in Colorado, Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Washington D.C. The Prince competed together with Ganzi and six other polo players in front of 400 guests including polo player Nic Roldan. The goal was to raise $1 million for Sentebale, the Prince's charity for underprivileged children in Lesotho.
Ganzi, longtime Audi team captain and 2009 US Open champion, played the No. 2 position and joined Prince Harry (1), team captain of Sentebale Land Rover, Michael Carrazza (4) and team captain, Royal Salute Ambassador Malcolm Borwick, an England national team member, playing the No. 3 position. The St. Regis polo team was led by Argentine captain Nacho Figueras, the face of polo, playing at the No. 3 position. Prince Harry scored a game-tying goal (3-3) and assisted on another in the match. Ganzi led all scoring with two goals and Borwick added another.
“I’m like a little Jack Russell terrier on crack, I like to go for the ball,” Jones told reporters about her style of polo. During Prince Harry’s speech at the polo fundraiser he said, “This is the last day of my tour around the United States. Thank you for a wonderful week. I have witnessed the extraordinary generosity of the people of this great nation.” Prince Harry then added “I’m hoping for a soft pitch so when I fall off my horse I won’t hurt my head.”
Sentebale was founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of the Lesotho Royal family in 2006 in memory of their mothers to help ease the plight of the neediest and most vulnerable of Lesotho’s children, many of them the victims of poverty and Lesotho’s HIV/AIDs epidemic. Sentebale means “forget me not.”
