Prince Harry joined the panel, titled 'Potential is Waiting', to discuss solutions across the capital spectrum to meet the next generation in Southern Africa with possibility and action, according to the charity's official website.

Asked if he'd like the royal children to play against his own kids, he responded: "I really hope so, I hope that Archie and Lili get to love horses as much as he does." 

Nacho went on: "There's something about the outside of a horse that's great for the inside of a human. Hopefully that love and passion will be transmitted. I know my kids love it and they love to play. It would be a dream that one day we all get to play polo together."
