Prince Harry, the founding patron of Sentebale, said afterwards: “The Mamohato Children’s Centre in Lesotho, which we opened previous year, would not have been built without the generosity of Sentebale and its partners, particularly the Sentebale Polo Cup”.

The prince, who was 12 when Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed in a auto crash in Paris in 1997, has admitted he does not have “that many memories” of her left.
“All I want to do is make my mother incredibly proud“, Harry told People magazine.

Kate Middleton, on the other hand, made headlines by outing the existence of a new royal family pet. Prince Harry endeared with recollections of his Disneyland trip with Princess Diana and Prince William.
As the prince ventures to Wellington (known nearly exclusively for its horses and shopping mall) today, he will be whisked away to The Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup at the private Valiente Polo Farm. He candidly shares that her death left a “gaping hole” in his family. “This year we will expand our camp program into Botswana, a country I have been visiting regularly for nearly two decades and genuinely feel I need to give as much back as I can”.
Figueras says Prince Harry is filled with energy, and it’s not all do-good work. “If I can try and fill a very small part of that, then job done”.
“Not only is he competitive and energetic when he plays polo, but he is a fun person to be around in general”.
The news also coincides with an interview Prince Harry gave, in which he touched upon how much his mum influenced him and his charity work.
“If I want to carry on doing the things I love and trying to make a difference, I have to be engaged with kids, and they have to think, ‘He’s relatively cool, we’ll go along with him, ‘” Harry explains.

“I enjoy what I do”. “Having lost my own mother seven years before, I felt a profound connection to these children”.
