Prince Harry has observed a minute’s silence to remember the victims of London’s terror attack, a deadly rampage in which seven people lost their lives.
The 32-year-old and his fellow polo players bowed their heads as the sports field fell silent ahead of a charity polo match for his organisation, Sentebale.
The tribute was announced by the compere as “a mark of respect for all the victims and those affected by the terror attacks in London on Saturday night.”
As the whistle was blown to signal the end of the commemoration, the much-loved royal sprung to life.
He went on to score two of his team’s five goals, leading them to victory.
The annual match has become an important annual fundraising event for Sentebale, an organisation which strives to support children and young people affected by HIV in Lesotho and Botswana.
The prince loves to ride.

In the official program for the Sentebale Polo Cup the prince said: “We will continue to support the global commitment to ending the Aids epidemic by 2030.”
“We believe that we cannot beat HIV without giving children and adolescents the voice they deserve.”
“It is our ambition to change the tide of this epidemic by ensuring more young people know their status, access treatment and are empowered to tackle stigma and play their part in bringing the Aids epidemic to an end.”
Following in his mother’s footsteps Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho established the organisation in 2006.
Today, Sentable is fast becoming the leading organisation in supporting children living with HIV in Southern Africa.
Now, do I get to keep this trophy?
A huge thumbs up for the fifth-in-line-to-the-throne
The royal charmed the crowds as he spoke passionately about the charity.
After the polo match, Harry will visit Jamiyah Children’s Home.
Then on Wednesday, the city of Sydney will be halted in their tracks with the ginger-haired royal swooping down to the Australian city.
He will catch up with members of the 2017 Invictus Games and their families, who will compete in this year’s event in Toronto.
The charming Prince will be returning to our shores very soon after, with the 2018 Invictus Games taking place Sydney.
Fingers crossed he suits up with the perfect plus one.
