Prince Harry’s ‘royal status has gone’ as he is ‘ignored’ at polo match: expert

Prince Harry’s royal status has vanished after he was reportedly “ignored” at a fundraiser polo match last week, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, last week visited Japan and Singapore to raise funds for his charity, leaving his wife Meghan Markle in California with their two kids: Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.

And as the duke rolled up his sleeves to take part it the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup — an event that helps Sentebale — a charity founded by Harry.

But the duke was reportedly “ignored” by attendees at the event.

“Harry probably doesn’t have any body language for moments like this — when he is left alone, un-hosted and virtually ignored by the others at the event,” royal expert and body language guru Judi James told the Express.

After the game, the exiled royal was seen walking alone, with James adding that the duke appeared “awkward.”

“As a royal, he would have been guaranteed to be the center of attention in a group setting and used to getting admiring smiles of polite flattery when he was out at events, but that clearly isn’t a given now his royal status has gone,” James added.

The royal expert said Harry appeared “awkward” because he didn’t have the “adoring gaze from his wife to bathe in.”

Elsewhere during his short trip to Tokyo, Harry was pictured with polo champ and longtime pal Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras, whom he’s known since 2007.

The pair even managed to squeeze in some shopping when they weren’t playing polo.

“Shopping for our wives. ,” Figueras, 46, captioned an Instagram post on Aug. 9, which featured the pair wearing sunglasses and striking a “Blue Steel” pose.

Prior to jetting off to Singapore, Harry showered Japan with compliments about its food and culture.

What’s more, the duke even said he would “happily” live there.

“I’ve been involved in many charities for most of my life and I get a huge amount of fulfillment giving back to as many people as possible,” he told the crowd last week. “My life is charity, always has been, always will be.”

“Your warmth, your compassion, your generosity, every single element of the Japanese culture is really unique and very, very special,” he went on.

“I noticed it my first visit four years ago when I came for the Rugby World Cup. And I would happily live here if you’d have me.”
