Prince Harry was in such high spirits throughout his visit to Singapore, so much so that it has created buzz on the internet.
The event was put together as a means for Harry to raise money for a charity he co-founded ten years ago.
The charity organization, Sentebale, was created to help the poor and those living with HIV. At the event, Harry played against his friend, Argentinian polo player Nacho Figueras, who he was regularly seen freely chatting with.
As the different pictures from the event hit the internet, a body language expert has claimed that Harry was freer and happier there because he was on familiar royal turf.
Prince Harry Loves “Positive Attention” He Received at Singapore
Last week saw Prince Harry attend the Sentebale Polo Cup without Meghan Markle and play polo to raise money for a charity he co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006.
Harry was seen smiling while horse-riding, which was something body language expert Judi James said showed he was “upbeat, happy, carefree and relaxed.“
Speaking to The Mirror, she explained: “Whether he’s twining his body language with his close polo friend or addressing fans with a splayed torso, arms extended wide and palm held outward and upward, Harry is looking at his most upbeat, happy, carefree and relaxed here in an environment that must feel reassuringly royal, macho and familiar to him. He looks fully in charge here and soaking up positive attention and adoration with what is almost an overkill smile.”
She continued: “Every feature is emphatic and exaggerated, from the eye crinkles to the stretched lips and clenched teeth. These smiles are congruent though, showing exactly how happy Harry is to be back on his old stomping ground again.”
Prince Harry On the Importance of Raising Funds For The Sentebale Charity
Ahead of the event’s kick off on Saturday, Aug. 12, Harry delivered a speech about the importance of supporting underprivileged people living with HIV.
“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.”
He added: “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.”
