Prince Harry has been an avid polo player for many years. He started playing as a youth and continues the game today. The Netflix series Polo delved deep into the sport and highlighted Prince Harry’s involvement. As with any sport, there are dangers involved. Those risks increase when you play with animals. Even the most well-trained Thoroughbreds can have an off day. That’s why players must be on top of their every move. According to a Page Six report, Prince Harry had a rough game of polo on December 18, resulting in an injury to his hand.

His hand reportedly got “clipped” when the son of legendary polo player Nacho Figueras swung his mallet. “They paused for a second, and he shook it off,” the source said of Prince Harry’s injury. Harry continued to play, but his team ultimately lost the match. His participation in the game apparently came as a big surprise to players and the crowd. “No one knew he was coming,” the source admitted. When making the series, Polo, Harry told People, the show would offer insight into the sport like no one had before. “This series offers audiences an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into the passion and determination driving some of the world’s elite polo players, revealing the grit behind the glamor. We’re proud to showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport — and the intensity of its high-stakes moments,” he said. Polo is undoubtedly an intense game, but it sounds like Prince Harry’s injury won’t keep him from getting back in the game anytime soon.
