Prince Harry & Team Win Sentebale Royal
Salute Polo Cup.
Prince Harry’s first visit to Brazil
culminated in triumph yesterday at the
Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup, which
took place at Haras Larissa, Campinas,
São Paulo.
Over 500 international and Brazilian
VIPs including supermodel Fernanda
Motta, who presented the Prince with the
trophy, gathered to watch the Sentebale
team play the St. Regis team, captained
by Nacho Figueras, with a final score of
six to three.
Speaking of his work for Sentebale the
Prince said “I hope that with the
position that I’m in and the title that
I have, I will continue to be able to
use that to bring attention to these
disadvantaged kids all over the world.”
Christian Porta, Chairman and CEO of
Chivas Brothers also said: "We’re
honoured to support Sentebale for the
second year. It was great to witness
such a well-played game, with the
Prince’s team taking the Cup.
"Royal Salute World Polo has a fantastic
presence in Brazil, including Triple Coroa
Tournament at the Helvetia Polo Club in
São Paulo. This amazing country, with a
thirst for luxury is a natural home for
Royal Salute and we look forward to a
great future here."
The game demonstrated the immense
strength and skill of the ‘sport of
kings’ with Most Valuable Player awarded
by British jeweller Garrard to Calao
Mello who scored three goals.
