HRH Prince Harry Plays at the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup

What: Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup
When: June 5, 2017
Where: Singapore Polo Club, Singapore

HRH Prince Harry joined Singapore Polo Club for the eighth annual Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup, a charity match dedicated to helping youth affected by the AIDS epidemic in South Africa. Over 300 guests watched as Sentebale ISPS Handa team claimed victory over St Regis team for the second year, with the winning goal scored by the Prince. Royal Salute World Polo Ambassador Malcolm Borwick, and Sentebale and St. Regis Ambassador Nacho Figueras, one of the world’s best players, were also on the pitch. To date, this event has raised over £4.5 million for Sentebale’s work providing care, education and critical pychosocial support to children and adolescents coming to terms with living with HIV in Lesotho and Botswana, two countries with the world’s second and third highest infection rates. This year, speaking at the post-tournament dinner at the St Regis Singapore, Prince Harry spoke about Sentebale’s newly developed Let Youth Lead programme aimed at encouraging all youth in sub-Saharan Africa to know and manage their HIV status by 2020, which Prince Seeiso launched at the charity’s first youth summit in Lesotho in April this year.

To raise further funds for the charity, bids opened for a one-of-a-kind Royal Salute auction lot. The Master Blender’s flagon of new limited edition Royal Salute 21 Year Old Polo Edition whisky has been donated to the auction by Royal Salute’s Director of Blending Sandy Hyslop, and is being housed in a bespoke hand-illustrated wrap. The auction continues online with a reserve price of £7,000 until Wednesday 14th June to allow those not in attendance the chance to support the charity and own a whisky unlike any other in the world.
