The Palace stood by Prince Harry’s side and said that “He didn’t do anything unlawful”, and even added that “What he did was entirely his own business”.

Harry, who was captaining a team in the event, had a dramatic fall from his polo pony during the match – before losing his seating for a second time as the game neared its climax.
