Meghan cheers on Prince Harry in the Sentebale Polo Cup

The Duchess of Cambridge channeled 50s chic again today as she arrived to cheer on Harry in a charity fundraising polo match in aid of children in Africa living with HIV and Aids.

The royal, 36, looked impossibly elegant in a navy Carolina Herrera dress with a flared skirt, teamed with nude Deneuve Bow pumps by her go-to shoe designer Aquazzura. 

The couple arrived together on the red carpet for the match in aid of Harry’s own charity, Sentebale, and posed with their arms around each other along with polo international Nacho Figueras and his wife, Delfina, plus the charity’s CEO Cathy Ferrier and chairman, Johnny Hornsby.

Harry is taking to the field for the Sentebale Polo Cup in Berkshire, in support of his charity of the same name. 

The newlyweds will enjoy lunch with sponsors and supporters before Harry takes part in the match, with his wife watching in the stands.

It is anticipated that Meghan will follow in the footsteps of other royals, including Harry’s mother, hand out the prizes to the winning and losing players for the first time.

Meghan is becoming well versed in the sport and attended the Audi Polo Challenge in Ascot to cheer on her man as he competed with his brother at the end of June, accompanied by her friend Serena Williams.

And the newlyweds made their first appearance as a couple when they attended the Audi Polo Challenge at Coworth Park, Berkshire, in May last year where they were spotted embracing in the car park.

The sporting fixture has become an important annual event raising funds and awareness for Sentebale, an organisation which works with children and teenagers in Lesotho and Botswana who are coming to terms with being HIV positive, have Aids or have lost their parents to the disease.

The polo event, being held at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club, usually features international professional players and talented amateurs.

Harry will play on the Sentebale St Regis team, captained by Sentebale Ambassador Nacho Figueras, against the Royal Salute team, captained by Malcolm Borwick.

A 2004 gap year trip to the landlocked African nation of Lesotho inspired the duke to set up his charity two years later with the country’s Prince Seeiso, younger brother of King Letsie III.

Their aim was to help youngsters in need and other children who had lost one or both parents to Aids or contracted the disease themselves.

In November 2015 Sentebale opened its £2 million Mamohato Children’s Centre in Lesotho to scale up its Mamohato camps, a residential project providing psychological, social and practical support to children struggling to cope with being HIV positive.

Harry most recently travelled to the southern African kingdom last month to open a community hall on behalf of Sentebale.

He met children at the Phelisanong Children’s Centre in Pitseng, Leribe during what Kensington Palace described as a ‘private visit’ without his new wife Meghan.
