Over the weekend, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle brought joy to royal enthusiasts when they shared an embrace following the Prince’s polo victory, dedicated to his charitable organization, Sentebale.

After the match, Harry’s teammate and dear friend Nacho Figueras discussed the potential for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to follow their father’s path in an interview.

Asked if he’d like the royal children to play against his own kids, he responded: “I really hope so; I hope that Archie and Lili get to love horses as much as he does.” 

Nacho went on: “There’s something about the outside of a horse that’s great for the inside of a human. Hopefully that love and passion will be transmitted. I know my kids love it and they love to play. It would be a dream that one day we all get to play polo together.” 

Nacho and his wife Delfina Blaquier have four children, though they are slightly older than the Sussex children. Hilario was born in 2000, Aurora in 2005, Artemio in 2010, and the youngest, Alba, arrived in 2013.

In the candid chat, the Argentinian also commented on his friendship with the Prince, saying: “It’s always great to be with him and doing something we love, which is playing polo.” 

Although he said that he and Harry only practice together “every once in a while” he said that the pair “speak very often, which is great”. 

The former model went on: “We speak very often, which is amazing to be able to have a friendship that feels like – sometimes we’re not together-together – so it’s always a good thing to be able to share that with someone.” 

Asked who is the most competitive out of the two of them, Nacho answered: “I think it goes both ways. It’s been a few days that we’ve been punching each other, who’s going to win today. “We like to make fun about that, today it’s Sentebale that wins and that’s what we’re all here for.”
