On Friday 12 July, HRH The Prince of Wales played in The Out-Sourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup at the Castle Ground at Flemish Farm, Guards Polo Club. An impressive £1,000,000 was raised and will be shared between 11 charities (SHOUT, Wales Air Ambulance, Mountain Rescue England and Wales, Child Bereavement UK, Royal African Society, Place2Be, Action for Children, The Motor Neurone Disease Association, The Blackthorn Rally, HMS Oardacious and The Royal Marsden) supported by The Prince and Princess of Wales.
U.S. Polo Assn., Brand Machine Group and BP Healthcare Polo played in a round robin format which saw The Prince of Wales’ team secure a last-minute penalty to defend their title which they won last year as well.
Charity representative, Ann Chalmers MBE, Chief Executive of Child Bereavement UK speaking on behalf of the 11 charities said, “Huge thanks are due to all the players, sponsors, supporters and those involved in organising this special event. The day will help raise awareness and much-needed funds for a range of causes, making a big difference to their important work.”
