Prince Harry takes another turn in the world of luxury polo as he gathers with the players on the sidelines of the US Open quarter-final match.
The Prince joined Valiente's team backstage as they prepared to take on Coca-Cola at the National Polo Centre.
He cut a simple figure dressed in black jeans and a gray T-shirt – but his arrival was abandoned by the twelve-strong Netflix film crew who were on hand to film his interactions with the stunned players.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, was in Wellington, Florida this weekend filming scenes for his new Netflix show about the cool world of polo.
He and Meghan were the main attraction on Friday afternoon as they attended a Royal Salute Polo Challenge charity match at the luxurious Grand Champions Polo Club.
The couple mingled with the spectators and smiled to take pictures before Harry prepared to face a team led by his Argentine friend Nacho Figueras.
The event has been carefully designed to raise money for Sentebale, which the Prince co-founded in 2006 to help children fight HIV in Africa.
It was also an opportunity to begin filming Harry's new documentary offering “unprecedented access to the world of professional polo”, one of two new projects the Sussexes are working on.
A camera crew followed the couple's every move as Harry scored a goal and then took to the stage to receive the trophy and a tender kiss from Meghan.
They were back at it Saturday when about a dozen crew members arrived at the U.S. National Polo Center to pose to film the U.S. Open quarterfinal match between Teams Coca-Cola and Valente.
The new show will be produced by Milos Balac, the Emmy Award-winning director behind Ryan Reynolds' sports documentary Welcome to Wrexham.
The prince was surrounded by two guards in civilian clothes, but he appeared relaxed and engaged in the pre-match team talk before the two sides took to the field.
Harry was joined on the sidelines by Nacho, with the pair watching intently as the crew sent up a drone to get aerial footage of the match.
The prince was keenly interested in the production side of things, watching parts of the footage on screen.
He stops briefly to pet a cute Jack Russell terrier and make a video call, passing the phone to Nacho to say hello.
Valente's star Adolfo Cambiasso was part of Harry's victorious team in the charity match on Friday.
The Argentine is considered one of the best players in the world.
'He didn't say much. He came to watch and support Cambiasso. “They're good friends,” said a member of Valiente's team.
The score was deadlocked at 5-5 when the prince left, and he and his entourage jumped into a sleek black Mercedes SUV before driving away.
