Despite being married for more than seven years, the Duchess of Sussex appears just as smitten as ever. On Wednesday, the 44-year-old shared a flirtatious message directed at her husband after he was photographed playing polo in snowy Colorado.
Posting a snap of Harry mid-match, Meghan offered a very public seal of approval. “Oh, hello there,” she wrote, sending royal watchers into a frenzy. In the photo, Harry looked every inch the sportsman as he rode a brown horse, dressed in a blue jumper and crisp white trousers while preparing for an upcoming tournament in Aspen.
The timing is no coincidence. Prince Harry is set to compete in the prestigious World Snow Polo Championships at Rio Aspen Park on Thursday, where he’ll face off against his longtime friend — and occasional rival — Argentinian polo star Nacho Figueras.
The two men share a close bond, having played together for years at charity matches supporting Sentebale, the organisation Harry co-founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. However, the charity has recently faced turbulence. In March, Harry stepped away from Sentebale following allegations of bullying and racism, and the annual polo fundraiser was ultimately scrapped in October.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Sentebale trustee Iain Rawlinson explained the decision: while polo events attracted generous donations from wealthy supporters, they also placed heavy pressure on individuals and exposed deeper issues within the charity’s financial structure.
Still, polo remains close to Harry’s heart. Last year, he and Meghan even took the sport to Netflix, serving as executive producers on the docu-series Polo through their Archewell Productions banner.
And Harry hasn’t just been bonding on the field. Hours before the tournament, he was spotted enjoying a ski trip with Nacho, joined by Nacho’s wife, Delfina Blaquier. A source told HELLO! that Harry spent several hours on the slopes, skiing, lunching, and laughing with friends — looking relaxed and happy throughout the day.
Meghan and the couple’s two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, did not join the private getaway, though the family is expected to spend Christmas together at their Montecito home.
Meanwhile, the Sussexes are keeping busy behind the scenes. The couple announced this week that they will produce a new Netflix film adaptation of Jasmine Guillory’s bestselling novel The Wedding Date. The project will be adapted by Tracy Oliver — the groundbreaking writer behind Girls Trip — marking another major step in Harry and Meghan’s expanding Netflix partnership.
The announcement follows news that Archewell Productions has extended its first-look deal with the streaming giant, committing to multiple new film and television projects.
“We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix,” Meghan said, adding that the couple hopes to create content that resonates globally and reflects their shared vision.
With flirtatious Instagram posts, snowy polo matches, and major Netflix deals in the works, it seems life in Montecito is anything but quiet — and Meghan is still very much Harry’s biggest fan.
