Overview
- The Princess of Wales attended the DMMI Royal Charity Polo Cup at Guards Polo Club on Friday, July 10, and took part in the prize‑giving after Prince William’s team won the match.
- Organisers reported the day’s fundraising at about £1,050,000 to be shared among ten charities, taking the event’s cumulative total to more than £15 million.
- Kate’s attendance is read as a step in her staged return after missing the polo in 2024 and 2025 during cancer treatment and recovery and following earlier June engagements including Wimbledon.
- Other family members, including Peter Phillips and his wife Harriet Sperling, were present while Prince Harry carried out separate Invictus events in Birmingham, underscoring distinct public schedules for senior royals.
- The Princess wore a black‑and‑white Temperley London gingham dress and the proceeds will fund causes such as Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Tŷ Hafan and Wales Air Ambulance, which organisers say will use the money for direct services and projects.
