Prince Harry will make an appearance at a charity sporting event in Asia next month, having rarely been seen out in public since King Charles’s Coronation in May.

The Duke of Sussex, who is known for his love of polo, has been confirmed to play in the Sentebale Polo Cup taking place in Singapore on August 12.

The event will be hosted to raise money for projects helping children affected by poverty, inequality and HIV/AIDS.

Nacho Figueras will also join Harry at the International Sports Promotion Society [ISPS Handa] summit on the power of sport and philanthropy in Tokyo on August 9.

This is Harry’s first major public appearance since the King’s Coronation on May 6, which he attended without Meghan Markle.

Taking to Twitter, journalist and co-author of ‘Finding Freedom’ Omid Scobie revealed the news of the Duke of Sussex’s forthcoming appearance, with a statement from Prince Harry attached to tweet.

Harry’s statement read: “The annual Polo Cup is essential to Sentebale’s vital work ensuring children and young people are healthy, resilient and able to thrive.

“The funds raised this year will support our Clubs and Camps programme, which provides intensive psychosocial support to young people living with HIV. In a time where being HIV positive is no longer a death sentence, we are empowering young people to know their status, stay healthy, and eliminate the stigma so that they can break the cycle.

“We are delighted to return to the renowned Singapore Polo Club in August, and are once again enormously grateful for the polo community and our sponsors, in particular ISPS Handa, for their ongoing commitment to Lesotho and Botswana’s youth.”

Using his royal title, the statement was then signed off by the Duke of Sussex.

Sentebale was founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso in 2006.

The charity was set up as a response to children and young people living in Lesotho.

The charity name, which means ‘forget-me-not’ in the Sesotho language, represents a pledge to remember the most vulnerable people in the region.
