Royal Polo Drama: Prince Harry’s Pal Falls from Horse in Heart-Stopping Moment

A tense atmosphere enveloped the Pacific Fair Magic Millions polo and show jumping event in Australia when Nacho Figueras, a close confidant of Prince Harry, experienced a heart-stopping mishap during a polo match.

The 46-year-old Argentinian model found himself in a precarious situation as he tumbled from his horse while attempting to strike a ball.

Spectators held their breath as Figueras clung to his horse's neck while it galloped across the field, his mallet still in hand.

In a display of resilience and determination, Figueras managed to regain his composure and hoist himself back into the saddle, much to the relief of onlookers.

The incident unfolded as Figueras, accompanied by his wife Delfina Blackear, participated in the prestigious event on the Gold Coast of Australia.

While Figueras encountered a moment of instability, his wife maintained her poise throughout the match, sporting a vibrant pink helmet.

Figueras' bond with Prince Harry traces back to 2007, with the duo frequently engaging in polo matches over the years.

Recognized as the “David Beckham of polo,” Figueras has not only supported Prince Harry and Meghan but has also made appearances alongside them in various media ventures.

His unwavering loyalty to the royal couple was evident when he expressed his willingness to defend them fervently, a sentiment he shared during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2019.

Having attended Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding in the preceding year, Figueras lauded Harry's authenticity and dedication to enhancing the lives of underprivileged children.

In an interview with Town and Country magazine, Figueras emphasized Harry's genuine nature and commitment to making a positive impact on disadvantaged youth.
