Prince Harry falls from his polo pony during charity match

During his visit, Prince Harry also caught up with Mutsu, the boy he first met during his trip in 2004, and with whom he has maintained a special relationship since.

Prince Harry took not one but TWO right royal tumbles today as he fell off his polo pony twice in one match.

“I, like them, knew there would always be a gaping hole that could never be filled”, said Prince Harry of his mother’s dead in 1997.

The royal first staged a fundraising polo match in aid of Sentebale, which works to help the impoverished youngsters of Lesotho, in 2010.

Prince Harry will continue his engagements in Cape Town on Monday when he’ll visit a rehabilitation centre for children who have committed gang related crimes followed by a visit to a football-based project.

The £2million facility has been described as a “milestone” by Harry and his Sentebale co-founder Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso.

While his father, Prince Charles, once famously broke an arm after falling from a horse in 1990, Harry appeared unharmed – and even acknowledged his poor performance by taking a bow at the match’s end, whilst laughing.

According to the Daily Mail the pair were introduced at the Mants’ase Children’s Home for orphans near Mohale’s Hoek and were brought together again when the prince opened a new centre for children with HIV this week.

Sentebale’s chief executive said: “We felt that we should acknowledge Harry’s mother as well, so we decided the dining hall was a very appropriate place”.

The tour began Thursday with Harry in a suit, meeting with Lesotho’s King Letsie III, with various Lesotho government officials, and with the British High Commissioner in the mountain kingdom. “We will increase the number of those attending camps from 400 to 1,500 per year – which represents 29% of our target adolescent group”. “I’m very comfortable around Harry”.

Movingly, the royal spoke of feeling a connection with these children who, like Harry and his brother Prince William, had suffered the death of a parent at a young age.

“They are both second boys and very similar personalities, very cheerful, loving, bubbly and casual”, she said.

“If there’s a chance of seeing each other they would love to, but it’s unlikely”.

“I’m hoping that they are quietly laughing or quietly smiling that we’ve come this far”, Prince Seeiso told Sky News about their mothers.
