A Netflix camera crew captured every moment of the action for the Duke’s upcoming series about the sport as he stormed to victory in the tournament.
The couple greeted Argentine polo player, Nacho Figueras, and his glamorous wife Delfina Blaquier at the star-studded event.
Meghan, 42, held her husband’s hand as she donned a sophisticated halterneck white dress, beige heels and oversized sunglasses for the event.
Meanwhile, Harry, 39, complimented her style with a sand toned sport coat, white trousers and baby blue shirt.
Harry then took to the field in a fun-loving match against his pal Figueras in a bid to raise money for his charity Sentebale.
The Duke celebrated with his teammates following the dynamic polo match, applauding his opponents before stepping up to accept his prize from Meghan, along with a celebratory smooch.
The royals were accompanied with a film crew, to start shooting footage for the duke’s new Netflix show about polo.
The Sussexes reportedly have two untitled non-fiction projects in production.
The first series will focus on Meghan and explore “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship”, according to Deadline.
And a second show will hone in on the couple’s love for polo.
He was spotted chatting with fellow guests beforehand, one of which called him the “quintessential networker”, as reported by the Mail Online.
“He looked the quintessential networker – shaking hands, smiling for photos. He looked in his element,” they said.

Harry and Meghan’s new shows form part of the “creative partnership” Archewell Productions signed with the streaming giant in 2020.
Meghan’s show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation.
The Duchess will executive produce alongside Archewell’s head of non-fiction Chanel Pysnik.
A second series will follow the couple’s polo passion.
Primarily shot at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, the project will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures.
‘DESPERATE’
But, Meghan’s new show has been blasted as “desperate” by royal experts.
The idea has been blasted by royal biographer Ingrid Seward.
Speaking to royal editor Matt Wilkinson on The Sun’s new show, Royal Exclusive, she said: “It’s a bit desperate. I think it is wrong to criticise it before we see it.
“But I am more skeptical about Meghan because I don’t know she knows anything about gardening.
HARRY AND MEGHAN’S PDA
By body lanuage expert Judi James
This body language has all the hallmarks of a full-on ‘peacocking Prince’ display for the Netflix cameras.
With his puffed chest and his wide stride as he tows his WAG along like any celebrity sportsman, Harry is seen astride his galloping horse in tight white jodhpurs and knee-high leather boots or accepting his trophy from his loving and very glamorous wife Meghan in her giant A-list shades and those killer heels that would have no place divot-stomping during the breaks in play.
Harry’s wide grin suggests he is in his element here performing a tradition of polo-playing that has allowed generations of royal men to flex their sexual credentials in public.
Harry’s PDA with Meghan as she hands him his trophy comes with a rather sweet touch of bashful humour though. Their polo kiss back in 2018 was a moment of passionate intensity but here the couple’s mirrored face to face approach suggests both even status and some like-minded synchronicity.
Their lips are puckered and their raised and rounded cheeks suggest this is a fun pose with Harry kick-starting the laughter by adopting a pose of mock modesty as he is first handed the cup.
While Harry might be playing to his strengths by producing a film on polo his body language of delight and confidence here hints that he might also enjoy basking in the spotlight in more of a sexy, heroic role too.
“As for her talking about friendship that does make me feel a bit skeptical.
“She is really known for losing friends rather than gaining friends.
“To hear her talking about friendships I think that might go down a little strangely.”
The show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation.
NETFLIX FLOPS
It follows the couple’s 2022 documentary, Harry and Meghan, which sparked major controversy.
Released in two parts, the explosive docuseries lobbed bombs at The Firm – seeing it torn apart by royal experts.
But, despite the attention it drew, it didn’t even rank in the top 200 most-watched Netflix shows from January to June.
Months later Harry’s series Heart of Invictus about the Olympic-style games he started for wounded ex-service competitors flopped.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s animated series Pearl was dropped while still in the development stage
Harry and Meghan are believed to have been paid only half of their reported £78million contract.
It was said they will get the rest only if they produce content of real interest before the end of 2025.
