Prince Harry postpones Dubai polo trip
Prince Harry of Britain has postponed a polo visit to Dubai on March 19.
Harry's office at St. James's Palace in London said on Friday the prince felt it
would be "insensitive for him to participate in a sporting event at a time when
there are matters of greater priority to focus on in the region," according to a
report in 'Gulf News'.
St. James's Palace said the Sentebale Polo Cup that has been scheduled to
coincide with the royal's visit has been cancelled.
The 26-year-old prince was due to play in the match on March 19 to raise money
for his Sentebale charity, which helps vulnerable children in Lesotho.
"Prince Harry looks forward to other opportunities to visit Dubai in the future,"
said his spokesperson.
