Nacho and Harry's friendship
The royal and the Argentine polo player's friendship goes way back to 2007, a year after Harry set up Sentebale with Prince Seeiso as a response to the needs of children and young people in Lesotho.
Nacho is a proud supporter of Sentebale as an ambassador, and regularly praises Harry's charity work.

After meeting with Suits actress Meghan at Soho House 76 Dean Street, Harry went to dinner with Nacho and his wife, Delfina Blaquier.
During an appearance in Harry and Meghan's Netflix docu-series, Nacho said of their blossoming relationship: "Right after they met, my wife, me and him, we had dinner and he sat down and looked at us and said, 'Guys I've met a girl. We just met, but I think this may be the one.' You could tell right away that those were the eyes of someone that had fallen in love."

In light of their bond, Nacho and his wife were later invited to Harry and Meghan's fairytale wedding in 2018.
Meanwhile, back in August 2022, Nacho praised Prince Harry during an interview with PEOPLE magazine. Opening up, he shared: "From day one, I saw how committed he was to his charity.
