Prince Harry, alongside his friend and the founder of his team, Ignacio "Nacho" Figueras, were playing in the semi-final against Folded Hills. However, their hope to battle in the final did not come to fruition after their team ultimately lost the match on Friday.

Last weekend, Prince Harry was spotted at a polo game with Figueras and their teammates playing against Dundee II. The match, which was open to the public, ended with the opposing team winning by 12-8. Markle was reportedly not in attendance at the event.

Earlier this month, Harry and Markle publicly reunited with senior members of the royal family for the first time since they stepped back from their roles as working royals in March 2020.

The couple made their appearances in the U.K. during Queen Elizabeth's four days of festivities to commemorate the monarch's historic 70-year reign.

During their trip across the pond, Meghan and Prince Harry brought their two children — 3-year-old son Archie and 1-year-old daughter Lilibet. The trip gave Lili the opportunity to meet her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, for the first time. She is named after the monarch whose childhood nickname was Lilibet.
