The royal was seen playing polo at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in Carpinteria, California, near his home with his wife Meghan Markle and their two young children in Montecito.

The prince regularly takes part in weekend polo tournaments at the club and « everyone treats him like he’s just one of the guys, » a source told People last month.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex flew to London last week for the Queen’s celebrations and were seen from the balcony during the Trooping the Color parade on June 2, while members of the royal family waved to fans from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Harry and Meghan also did not take part in the parade with the royals.

« It was supposed to be all about the Queen, and it didn’t give people a chance to speculate about their relationship, » a royal insider told People this week to explain why the royals are kept a distance from each other during the service.

William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, also left the service before Harry and Meghan.

Harry was seen chatting with his cousins ​​Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips.

The relationship between Harry and his brother and father has reportedly been strained since he and MeghanFt for the United States and especially after the couple did a revealing interview with Oprah last year.
