Despite being married for more than seven years, the Duchess of Sussex appears just as smitten as ever. On Wednesday, the 44-year-old shared a flirtatious message directed at her husband after he was photographed playing polo in snowy Colorado.
Posting a snap of Harry mid-match, Meghan offered a very public seal of approval. “Oh, hello there,” she wrote, sending royal watchers into a frenzy. In the photo, Harry looked every inch the sportsman as he rode a brown horse, dressed in a blue jumper and crisp white trousers while preparing for an upcoming tournament in Aspen.
The timing is no coincidence. Prince Harry is set to compete in the prestigious World Snow Polo Championships at Rio Aspen Park on Thursday, where he’ll face off against his longtime friend — and occasional rival — Argentinian polo star Nacho Figueras.
The two men share a close bond, having played together for years at charity matches supporting Sentebale, the organisation Harry co-founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. However, the charity has recently faced turbulence. In March, Harry stepped away from Sentebale following allegations of bullying and racism, and the annual polo fundraiser was ultimately scrapped in October.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Sentebale trustee Iain Rawlinson explained the decision: while polo events attracted generous donations from wealthy supporters, they also placed heavy pressure on individuals and exposed deeper issues within the charity’s financial structure.
Still, polo remains close to Harry’s heart. Last year, he and Meghan even took the sport to Netflix, serving as executive producers on the docu-series Polo through their Archewell Productions banner.
And Harry hasn’t just been bonding on the field. Hours before the tournament, he was spotted enjoying a ski trip with Nacho, joined by Nacho’s wife, Delfina Blaquier. A source told HELLO! that Harry spent several hours on the slopes, skiing, lunching, and laughing with friends — looking relaxed and happy throughout the day.
Meghan and the couple’s two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, did not join the private getaway, though the family is expected to spend Christmas together at their Montecito home.
