Following his trip to Dubai last year to help raise funds for his charity, Sentebale, Prince Harry is coming back, this time to Abu Dhabi, to do it again. And he’s getting in on the action.

The British royal will lead the Sentebale Huntsman team at the fifth Sentebale Polo Cup, to he held at the Ghantoot Polo Club in Abu Dhabi on November 20. He will be accompanied by former England captain and Royal Salute polo ambassador Malcolm Borwick. Ex-Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens is also on the guestlist.

The cup, started by Prince Harry in 2010, has been held in different countries over the years, and helps raise funds for Sentebale, a charity he founded along with Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso in memory of their mothers. Sentebale means ‘forget me not’ in Sesotho. The charity works to provide healthcare and education for Lesotho’s underpriviledged children.

This year’s guest list is said to include Torquhil Ian Campbell, the 13th Duke of Argyll.

The Abu Dhabi event is by invite only.
