Prince Harry’s polo pal Nacho Figueras offers lessons to fans as part of $295k holiday package

Prince Harry’s pal Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Figueras is offering up polo lessons for fans as part of a luxury £250,000 holiday package. 

The Argentinian sportsman, 45, who has been dubbed the ‘David Beckham of Polo’, has made an unexpected appearance in Neiman Marcus’ ‘Fantasy Gift’ Christmas catalogue. 

For $295,000 [£257,000], the luxury U.S. retailer is offering a two-night stay at the exclusive five-star St Regis hotel in Aspen, Colorado.

During the minibreak, the buyer will be given a lesson with Prince Harry’s close friend and fellow top polo player Melissa Ganzi.

What’s more, the duo are offering training to up to 11 of the buyer’s friends too at the Aspen Valley Polo Club.

In 2019, Nacho launched a range of six different perfumes inspired by his travels around the world – including one called ‘Windsor’. The professional polo player pictured promoting his products at Bergdorf Goodman in New York on 11 December 2019

The members-only sports club is where Prince Harry competed alongside Nacho at a charity polo match in August. 

The annual event raise funds for Sentebale, an organisation co-founded by Prince Harry in 2006, which supports children and young people affected by HIV in southern Africa. 

The Neiman Marcus VIP tickets also include entry to a star-studded polo match, which the buyer will watch from their own tent while being served champagne and canapes.

As part of their holiday package, guests will also be served a private Argentinian dinner by chef Agustin Mallmann.

In 2019, Nacho launched a range of six different perfumes inspired by his travels around the world – including one called ‘Windsor’, which he said he hoped would ‘bring feelings of every kind of paradise.’

The box for the ‘Windsor’ perfume also appears to hint at the significance of his relationship with Prince Harry, and bears the words: ‘The brotherhood of kindred spirits.’

The fragrances saw a portion of the sales proceeds donated to Prince Harry’s charity Sentebale.

The father-of-four attended the royal wedding in 2018 and has continued to play alongside Harry in the US for their Santa Barbara-based team, Los Padres.

Over the years, the 45-year-old has been a vocal supporter of the couple amid reports of a rift within the royal family.

Speaking about his friendship with the royal, Nacho told Town and Country magazine in 2019: ‘What I like the most about him is how real he is and how serious he is about improving life for kids that have not had the blessings that we’ve had.’

The same year, Nacho appeared on The Ellen Show, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, and announced he would ‘defend his friends’ with his life.

During the interview he also described Meghan as ‘incredible’, and revealed how she ‘gave up everything for the man she loves’.
