The Princess of Wales has joined her husband for an afternoon of polo fun in the scorching heat today, as she stood on the sidelines ready to watch her husband compete in the annual charity match. Dressed for the weather in a flowing black and white chequered dress and dark sunglasses, Catherine arrived with William’s equerry, Mike Reynolds.
Held at Guards Polo Club in Windsor, William is taking part in the DMMI Royal Charity Polo Cup, marking the 15th time he has competed. This year, the event is set to take the total amount raised to more than £15 million, with the money going towards charitable causes that William and Catherine are passionate about.
The 10 charities supported this year represent the breadth and diversity of Their Royal Highnesses’ causes, from homelessness to maternal mental health. It includes Wales Air Ambulance, Evelina Children’s Hospital, The Passage and We Are Farming Minds.

It marks the first time Catherine has attended the annual polo match in three years, having missed the last two events due to her cancer recovery.
She last attended the game in 2023, when she stepped onto the field to present her husband with the trophy after he led his team to victory.
It comes as Prince Harry stepped out in Birmingham earlier today to attend the one-year countdown event for the 2027 Invictus Games.
He played pickleball, laser run and wheelchair rugby before giving a speech to spectators and staff.
