In the eyes of his polo friend Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras, Prince Harry has many qualities – but his qualities as a father are unbeatable.
The British Royal Prince Harry (39) also indulges in his great passion, the sport of polo, in his adopted home in the USA. As part of a charity game in Florida, Harry’s Argentine polo buddy Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras (47) spoke up and got into trouble in an interview with “People” I really raved about it. But it’s not Prince Harry’s goal-getter or riding skills that are the reason for the adulation – but rather his talents as a father.
Figueras, who has four children of his own, admires how much Harry has “taken on the role of father in recent years.” Harry loves “being a parent. I admire him very much as a father.” That was also one of the reasons why Harry and “Nacho” became friends: “His passion for family matches his passion for polo, which is what attracted me to him when we first met years ago.” The two men have known each other since 2007 and have maintained a close friendship ever since.
According to his polo friend, the fact that Harry was able to flourish as a dad has a lot to do with Duchess Meghan: “He has a great and supportive wife,” Figueras is quoted as saying.
Turtelei for a good cause
Prince Harry and Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras, in the presence of their wives Duchess Meghan (42) and Delfina Blaquier (43), took part in a charity polo match in aid of the aid organization Sentebale on Friday at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Florida. Harry founded the organization in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho (57) to support children in Africa affected by poverty, inequality and HIV/AIDS. Harry’s team won the tournament, scoring one goal.
On the occasion of Meghan’s trophy handover to her husband, the two repeated a loving scene that royal fans have already seen at the Sentebale Polo 2018 at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club in Windsor: There was also back then, just a few weeks after their royal wedding for the price of a kiss from his wife.
