We always fancied ourselves as rather adapt polo players.

Something about all that champagne and Pimm’s and jolly-good fun seems to appeal hugely.

It’s a little Pretty Woman when she wears the amazing polka-dot dress and on-fleek Nineties white gloves; it’s a lot Prince Harry racing around on a noble steed giving us the eye during occasional breaks in play.

And it seems that polo events are not just for royalty (cinematic, aristocratic or otherwise).

Because at the All Ireland Polo Club on the grounds of the Phoenix Park, there are plenty of good-natured equine larks to be had.

Case in point: the glamorous Pink Polo In The Park event, which was successfully held last week.

Glamorous guests, all of whom were supporting Breast Cancer Ireland, comprised of the likes of Michelle Harrison, Norah Casey, Leigh Arnold, Roisin Tierney Crowe, and Gavin Duffy.

Watching the polo from the comfort of a marquee. they were treated to on-pitch action from a talented Irish squad who played against Team Canada… and we’re glad to report that Ireland emerged victorious in a fast-paced show of horsemanship.

The day had began with a pink prosecco reception followed by a sumptuous three-course luncheon prepared and served by the team from the swish Tinakilly House.

TV presenters and stylist entrepreneurs Darren Kennedy and Cathy O’Connor judged the keenly-fought best dressed competition, which was eventually won by Naomi Mulderry and Eoin Likely – both of whom received prizes from Harvey Nichols, Louis Copeland and Ireland’s Blue Book

 

Lovely lunch with Claire Bear! Thank you #pinkpolointhepark #breastcancerireland

In the second match of the day, Team Breast Cancer Ireland narrowly beat Team Nissan with a score of 6-5 and afterwards CEO of Nissan Ireland, James McCarthy, presented beautiful Galway Crystal trophies to both teams.

During the afternoon, guests furthermore enjoyed a Veuve Clicquot champagne reception and once all the excitement in the park was over, teams and guests were brought to Residence on St Stephen's Green in a cavalcade of Nissan cars for the after-party celebrations.

Certainly, it was a fitting end to the summer polo season and raised much-needed funds for the charity. And in the meantime, roll on the 2016 season, we say! Now, where did we leave our white gloves…

We weren’t sure WHAT to make of the recent rumour that Prince Harry and his former flame, South African hottie Chelsey Davey, were on the verge of reuniting

Frankly, we didn’t want to believe it – not least because we’re definitely still confident of stealing his heart (oh, and nabbing a crown in the process).

And now our aspirations of marrying well have been thrown a second curve-ball in as many days: the royal and ANOTHER gorgeous ex have been spotted on a night-out looking rather chummy.

In fact, while celebrating his 31st birthday in London earlier this week, Harry and one-time love-interest Cressida Bonas, 26, seemed very much like the cosy couple.

Cue another million hearts (including our own!) breaking.

Of course, the fifth-in-line to the British throne has very much embraced the role of a bachelor playboy prince in recent years.

But significantly, Ms Bonas – a well-to-do actress and dancer – recently broke up with her boyfriend. And it seems in the aftermath of her heartache Mr Wales is happy to at least reconsider his own single status.

On Tuesday evening (although they partied into Wednesday too), the prince and a gaggle of close friends, including his cousin Zara Phillips and her rugby-player husband Mike Tindall, gathered at posh The Cross Keys pub in Chelsea. 

By the early hours the party was still very much in full swing, and along with a select handful of others, Cressida was invited back to Kensington Palace to continue the birthday celebrations.

Cressida is the youngest daughter of socialite Lady Mary Curzon and businessman Jeffrey Bonas, as well as granddaughter of Edward Curzon, 6th Earl Howe. 

She met the young British prince through his cousin, Princess Eugenie, in 2012 and the pair went on to date for two years.

Since his April 2014 split from Cressida Bonas, Prince Harry has been enjoying the single life. But that's all about to change, as another ex has caught his eye once again.

The famous Royal, who turned 31 this week, is said to be "closer than ever" to Chelsey Davey, who he dated between 2004 and 2011.

Harry and his ex have remained on good terms since their split, but after meeting in Chelsey's native South Africa again this summer, they have apparently rekindled their old flame.

With Harry "immensely" more mature after a summer of conservation and charity work, Chelsey feels he could be ready to settle down with her, the Daily Mail report.

After moving home to South Africa last year, Chelsey is looking for work in London again with the hopes of moving back.

In an effort to show her commitment, Chelsey even flew across the world this week to be by Harry's side as he celebrated his birthday.

And with Royal commitments on his big day itself – namely the Battle of Britain flypast at Goodwood aerodrome – Chelsey has reportedly gone all out for a planned boat party on the Thames this weekend instead, which she's planing with the help of Harry's close pal Guy Pelly.

While no pictures of the old flames together have emerged just yet, we reckon it won't be long…

For the first time since he touched down in Namibia, the 30-year old British royal has been sighted as he works to improve conservation efforts in the country.

He is also sporting a new look, and we’re kind of loving it.

In the 6 weeks since he’s been away the famous redhead, who is fifth-in-line for the throne has started to rock a full beard.

The normally clean shaved Harry seems to have ditched the razor, and no one is complaining about his new style.

In late June, Prince Harry headed off on a three month long trip after completing 10 years of service with the British military.

While in Africa he has been shadowing conservations and veterinarians such as Dr. Pete Morkel as they attempt to deal with the threats against endangered species.

It looks like Harry is certainly not afraid to get up close and personal with some of the animals he’s been working to help protect.

On his recent trip to Khula Care for Wild, a rhino conservation site in South Africa, Harry joined in a round of feeding and met some of the 20 rhinos at the site. Including baby rhino Warren, cute.

Both Harry and his brother William consider wildlife conservation to be a very important cause. Before he took off on his visit, Harry said he thought the opportunity was going to be “amazing”.

The royal is also eager to do his part to change the way locals think about their native wildlife:

"Whether it’s darting a lion or going into a community to see how they are changing the way they are working, and for the local culture to accept that an elephant means more to them money-wise alive than shooting it."

Prince Harry is apparently out of the running to be one of Princess Charlotte’s six godparents. Note, Charlotte has one less godparent than her older brother Prince George.

While there was some speculation Prince Harry’s absence was some sort of royal snub, it seems to be more as a result of his being out of the country.

The 30-year old royal will be spending the summer travelling and doing charity and conservation work. He is reportedly going to be in Africa when the christening will take place.

The ceremony will take place later today at the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham.

The baptism will be held in private with fewer than 30 people present at the event. It will be the first time the family of four will make a public appearance together.

Harry unfortunately will not be present as he’s already left for his trip to Africa. Sad news for any of the members of the public waiting outside the church hoping to catch a glimpse of the young royal.

Official photographs of the occasion will be taken by photographer Mario Testino who was Princess Diana’s favourite photographer. Charlotte will wear a replica of the lace and satin christening gown made for the princess royal, Victoria, in 1841.

The godparents will be revealed at the ceremony so we’ll have to wait and find out, although there have been rumours that since Prince Harry is no longer in the running, David Beckham might be a possibility.

Can’t imagine that minion tattoo would go down so well at afternoon tea in the palace though, but you never know.

Speculation is mounting about who will step into the role, with bookies also actually giving odds who might be the favourite.

Princess Beatrice, 26, was also in the running and according to book makers she had got more of a chance than her sister Euginie, 25, as she often socialises with Will and Kate.

We were very intrigued to discover that neither of the Princess's were named as Charlotte's godparents after all. 

Instead it was friends and family of the couple themselves who will take the honours later today; Miss Sophie Carter, Mr. James Meade, Mr. Adam Middleton, The Hon. Laura Fellowes and Mr. Thomas van Straubenzee were all named as Princess Charlotte's godparents.

The allowance given to Prince William, Duchess Kate, and Prince Harry by Prince Charles has now been revealed. And… let's just say, wow, we would really appreciate a similarly titled sort throwing a bit of love this way too.

It turns out that good old Prince Charlie is very charitable when it comes to supporting his children and daughter-in-law. He also helps out numerous international charitable causes that are close to his heart.

The Prince of Wales, 66, gets most of this money (a cool €30m in the last year) from the Royal Duchy estate. This cash pays for his private and public lifestyle.

Although William and Harry are both employed, they still receive quite a substantial amount of money from their dad to help cover the expense of official royal activities: more than €4m between them, in fact.

And in the same report, which has been published by the British royal family, it turns out – surprisingly – that they pay plenty of taxes too.

A breakdown of how much exactly goes to Wills, Harry, and Kate respectively is sadly not given but we are willing to bet that the princess spends a good chunk of that on her gorgeous wardrobe choices. 

Lucky gal!

Not long over a month after giving birth, Kate Middleton is set to make her debut public appearance as a mother of two.

The annual Trooping the Colour ceremony will be in full swing tomorrow afternoon to celebrate the Queen’s 89th birthday (even though her actual birthday was in April).

The festivities mean that the Royal family will be out in full force, with Prince Charles and Prince William riding horses alongside Princess Anne as part of the procession. Kate will ride alongside Harry in a horse-drawn carriage.

A source had previously told OK US that the Queen “thinks a month is more than enough time for Kate to take off before she should return to performing her royal duties.”

The Duchess of Cambridge’s maternity leave this time round is even shorter than the 39 days she took off from her royal duties after the birth of Prince George in 2013.

We can’t wait to see the family together and we have no doubt that Kate will look as stunning as ever, even with such a short maternity leave.

He is regarded as one of the most eligible bachelors in the world, but it looks as though Prince Harry may have his eye on a certain famous young lady.

The rumour mill has been cranked into overload this week, with photos of the handsome Prince looking cosy with Dr Who actress Jenna Coleman being leaked to the press.

The pair are believed to have met and struck up a conversation at this week’s Ascot Polo Party, later being spotted enjoying a drink and a chat that night. While sources have claimed that it is all innocent between the pair, speculation was sparked by one photo, in which Harry appears to have his arm resting on Jenna’s leg – saucy!

The photos raised questions in some camps, given that Jenna was believed to still be loved-up with her boyfriend, Game of Thrones star Richard Madden; however, it has emerged today that the pair called it quits on their romance ‘several months ago’.

So, could this mean that we have a hot new celebrity couple on our hands? We will most definitely keep you updated!

At last! Prince Harry has been introduced to the royal cutie, his niece Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

With the Duchess going over her due date by about ten days, her brother-in-law missed the opportunity to meet the newest addition to the family before he departed for Australia and New Zealand for a month-long military stint.

Charlotte, who was only seen in public on the day of her birth – May 2, is now three weeks old. Harry reportedly visited her on Friday at Anmer Hall, Wills and Kate’s sprawling 10-bed country abode in Norfolk.

At the Chelsea Flower Show last week the prince was asked by the BBC when he’d finally meet Charlotte. He replied: “We’ll wait and see. That still hasn’t happened yet. I only got back yesterday afternoon.

“Time will tell when I have a chance.”

The day after her birth, he had said in a statement: “She is absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to meet her.”

During his time in Australia, the young royal was inundated with gifts for the new baby. “I have been given a hell of a lot of cuddly toys,” he told the gathered media in Sydney earlier this month. 

Harry, 30, clearly adores kids and it is likely that his position as favourite uncle, a title he’s worked hard to earn since the birth of Prince George two years ago, is secure with Princess Charlotte.

Indeed, while in New Zealand, Prince Harry admitted that he’s eager to settle down and start his own family.

And yesterday, Harry had yet more good news – namely a Most Valuable Player Award, which was presented to him during a polo match held at Cirencester, 150km north-west of London.

Two years ago it was the rumour that caught everyone's attention: Prince Harry had his eye on none-other than 24-year-old Jennifer Lawrence. Although at the time he was seeing society girl Cressida Bonas, apparently he had a major crush on the Oscar-winner and was desperate to meet her.

Jennifer Lawrence is still seeing Chris Martin of Coldplay

Now Life & Style magazine is reporting that the still-smitten British royal has again approached the actress with the offer of a dinner-date – at Kensington Palace no less  but that she flatly turned him down. Ouch. It is reported that Harry, arguably the world's most eligible bachelor, made the most recent advance last November when Jen was in London promoting The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.

And back in March 2013, a source told OK! magazine in the US that the prince reckoned Jennifer was the girl for him. “Harry is looking for a serious relationship and is ready to settle down. And the way he’s thinking right now he could end up with a Hollywood wife,” the source added. How very modern-day Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco.  

It seems that Prince Harry doesn't give up easily 

Ms Lawrence is still quietly dating Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (she must have a thing for posh English boys). Meanwhile Harry (30) is currently single, although in February Emma Watson had to take to Twitter to dispel rumours she was seeing him.

When everyone from Barack Obama to the Pope has gotten on board with a trend, it's clear something needs to stop.

Luckily, Prince Harry is stepping up to the plate as the first celebrity anti-selfie campaigner (though One Direction's Liam gave the role a good bash too).

The Prince was making an appearance in Canberra, Australia this week after touching down for a four-week placement with the Australian Defence Force. But he's there to work, people, not to take selfies, and he was quick to give out to one young fan who asked for one.

"Just take a normal photograph"… Solid advice right there.

It looks like there can be only one Harry in Emma Watson's life and it certainly isn't Prince William's little brother if her latest sassy tweet is anything to go by!

Earlier this week, reports and rumours circulated that the Harry Potter star was getting cosy with the royal and had even been enjoying secret trysts with the gorgeous red head prince, but Emma is clearly determined to put an end to the story and took to social media to do it!

By tweeting: "WORLD. Remember that little talk we had about not believing everything written iin the media?", Emma appeared to quash rumours with just one sentence and it seems like this was all Emma's fans and followers needed to hear to know there was nothing to those romantic reports. 

Emma's quirky message was retweeted 9,000 times and received a massive 16,000 likes in the first 30 minutes alone!

Commenting on the actress's post, one fan wrote: "Oh Emma, bringing the world back to reality as per usual! I knew it sounded more than ridiculous that you would be dating Harry!"

The 24-year-old actress, who will be playing Belle in Disney's new live-action Beauty and the Beast, certainly knows how to get her point across in less than 140 characters!
