Source: AAP Britain’s Prince Harry ended his first trip to New York with victory at a charity polo match and a dousing in champagne.
The prince, 24, projected a newly serious image on his two-day visit to the Big Apple, kicking off his first official foreign trip by paying homage at Ground Zero, the site of the 9/11 terror attacks. But he was back to his glamour-loving ways on Saturday at the star-studded polo match on Governor’s Island in the Hudson River, with Manhattan’s skyscrapers the dramatic backdrop. Riding a chestnut pony called Serena he helped his team win 6-5 before an adoring crowd. On the other side of the pitch, hundreds of members of an enthusiastic public lay on the grass, roasting in the sun.
All afternoon, the “mwah mwah” of air kisses mingled with the shutter snaps of paparazzi cameras and thud of galloping ponies.
