Prince Harry plays polo for African charity.

Britain’s Prince Harry took a tumble from his horse Sunday before his defeat in a New York polo match against the world’s best known polo player, Argentina’s Nacho Figueras.
But it was all for a good cause — to benefit 400,000 children of an AIDS-ravaged African nation.
The 25-year-old son of the late Princess Diana fell off his polo pony in the first half of the 3rd Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic on Governor’s Island.
But he had a smile on his face as he got up and continued the contest, which Figueras’ Black Watch team won 6-5 in overtime. At first, the prince’s Black Rock foursome was ahead, with Harry scoring an early 2 points, despite his fall.
