Prince Harry experienced a brief scare on the polo field this week while competing in a high-profile tournament in Colorado, but quickly brushed it aside and continued playing. The Duke of Sussex was injured during the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship in Aspen on Thursday, December 18, according to a source who spoke with Page Six.
The incident reportedly occurred mid-match when the mallet of another player accidentally struck Harry’s hand. The player involved was identified as the son of Harry’s close friend and internationally known polo star, Nacho Figueras. “They paused for a second, and he shook it off,” a witness told the outlet. Despite the impact, Harry, 41, remained in the game and played through the discomfort.
