Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended a polo event for charity, with the Duke of Sussex participating in the games.

The couple were seen in Florida on Friday at the Grand Champions Polo Club during the Royal Salute Polo Challenge. The prince has been playing polo for many years.

The match that Harry participated in was for the organisation Sentebale, which was founded in 2006 by him and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, according to People.

According to the organisation's website:

"Sentebale works in the Southern African countries of Lesotho and Botswana providing and enabling holistic care to young people, including those living with HIV/AIDS and mental health challenges, along with vocational training and entrepreneurial skills."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared on 11 April that they were working on two new non-fiction series for Netflix. Both projects are in development; one of them will be a cooking show, while the other follows the world of professional polo.
