Figueras, who is a professional polo player and face of Ralph Lauren, posted a snap of the reunion on Instagram.

He expressed his excitement to be riding alongside his friend, , stating that they have ridden together many times over the years.

Figueras is an ambassador for Centibale, an organization founded by the Prince which is dedicated to helping children and young people who or whose families suffer from HIV and AIDS in Lesotho, South Africa.

was also present to watch her husband play polo.

Harry has been playing polo since his youth, so the sport comes naturally to him.

However, in September, Meghan was allegedly furious with Prince Harry for flirting with a female polo player during his match.

A tabloid claimed that Meghan was not thrilled to see photos of her husband with his arms wrapped around Riley Gansey during their match.

The insider insisted that Gansey is exactly the type of woman that would have caught Prince Harry's attention if he's not married to Markle.

But since he is committed to his wife, there's no denying the fact that the Duke of Sussex is also smitten with Markle.

Meanwhile, Harry's marriage to has unleashed a kind of resentment against what life is like in the royal family, according to a royal author.

Ian Lloyd, the author of the newly published The Queen, 70 Chapters in the Life of Elizabeth II, said that his nuptials with Meghan unleashed pent up bitterness at the constraints of firm life.

He added that if Prince Harry's path hadn't crossed with Meghan, he likely would have ended up increasingly unfulfilled without an avenue to express his frustration.

Lloyd claimed that something inside Harry was unleashed by his marriage, a sort of resentment about what he did and what life is like in the royal family.

He added that had he not met Meghan, he would have carried on in this country, doing the Invictus Games and other sorts of avenues, but perhaps increasingly unfulfilled.

His life with Meghan has afforded him a measure of satisfaction he just could not grasp as a senior royal and allowed him to address unresolved issues from his upbringing in the Royal Goldfish Bowl.

Despite these personal struggles, Prince Harry remains committed to his charity work.

He founded Centibale in 2006 alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho.

The charity supports vulnerable children and young people affected by HIV and AIDS in Lesotho, Botswana, and Malawi.

In 2014, he launched the Invictus Games, an international adaptive multi-sport event for wounded, injured, or sick armed services personnel and veterans.

Prince Harry's move to the US has not stopped him from continuing his philanthropic endeavors.

He and Meghan have launched Archewell, a non-profit organization that aims to uplift and unite communities locally and globally.

They have also partnered with various organizations to support causes close to their hearts, such as mental health, gender equality, and environmental conservation.

In conclusion, Prince Harry's love for polo remains strong, and he continues to play the sport even after moving to the US.
