Maserati Royal Charity Polo Trophy
Yesterday guests gathered at the Beaufort Polo Club to cheer on teams from Maserati and Piaget in the Royal Charity Polo Trophy. Both Prince William and Prince Harry were due to play.
The Duke of Cambridge donned a Maserati top but Prince Harry was forced to watch from the sidelines due to an injury.

George Meyrick also joined the Maserati team for the Royal Charity Polo Trophy and one of the greatest players in the world, Gonzalo Pieres Jnr, played for the Piaget team.
The match itself was fast-paced and the Maserati team ended up victorious in the end.
