The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Prince Harry continues his mother’s work with charity polo match for HIV causes” – below is their description.
The Duke of Sussex has saddled up for a charity polo match in Singapore in aid of Sentebale, the charity he co-founded to help African children affected by poverty, inequality and HIV/Aids.

The Duke played on the Royal Salute Sentebale Team against the Singapore Polo Club Team, which was captained by Nacho Figueras, the charity’s ambassador and his long-time friend.
“Sentebale” means “forget-me-not” in the Sesotho language, which is spoken in Lesotho, and is a tribute to the late Diana, Princess of Wales, who worked for HIV and Aids causes during her lifetime.
The 38-year-old Duke, who founded the charity with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, said in a statement: “The annual Polo Cup is essential to Sentebale’s vital work ensuring children and young people are healthy, resilient, and able to thrive.
“The funds raised this year will support our clubs and camps programme, which provides intensive psychosocial support to young people living with HIV.
“In a time where being HIV positive is no longer a death sentence, we are empowering young people to know their status, stay healthy, and eliminate the stigma so that they can break the cycle.
“We are delighted to return to the renowned Singapore Polo Club in August, and are once again enormously grateful for the polo community and our sponsors, in particular ISPS Handa, for their ongoing commitment to Lesotho and Botswana’s youth.”
