Harry's latest polo match comes just days after it was claimed that he and Meghan are working on an 'at-home with the Sussexes-style' docuseries for Netflix, for which they've allowed cameras into their $14m mansion. The father-of-two's team, on which he plays alongside longtime pal Nacho Figueras, suffered an 18-10 loss to their opponents, Mokarow Farms. Friday marked the start of the Lisle Nixon Cup, which will run until May 29 and will likely see the Duke - who is listed on the team as Harry Wales - returning to the field on Sunday.
Harry was snapped stretching and squatting with his Los Padres teammates while wearing white trousers, a navy T-shirt, and a baseball cap, before changing into his green team shirt to hit the field. The 37-year-old Duke of Sussex was pictured preparing for a polo match at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club, where he is expected to play the entire 12-goal season, according to Meghan's pal Omid Scobie. Pictured from furthest right: Benedict Cumberbatch, Natascha McElhone and Eddie Redmayne braved the rain as they celebrated Miss McCrory's incredible career with friends and family. Readings included one about her 'leading men', while another was a recital of Maya Angelou's poem, Touched by an Angel. The hour-long service opened with Beethoven's Ode to Joy and was followed by a prayer and the hymn Guide me, O thou Great Redeemer. Her husband Damian Lewis, 51, (centre) was pictured arriving with their children, daughter Manon, 15, who delivered a reading, and son Gulliver, 14, who played the guitar. Helena Bonham Carter, (furthest left), Ralph Fiennes, (second from left) and Keeley Hawes (third from left) were among those who packed out the venue, a year after Miss McCrory's death from breast cancer, aged 52. Those who worked with Peaky Blinders star Helen McCrory shrugged off the rain to turn up in their droves to celebrate her life at a 'beautiful' memorial service in St Paul's Church, London yesterday. The Russian president's enemies are not at the gates of Moscow as Hitler’s were in Berlin, but there are parallels in both leaders’ refusal to listen to counsel, and their insistence on micro-managing military manoeuvres despite not having the experience to do so. Putin’s defence minister Sergei Shoigu, 66, (top right) who is widely regarded as the great political survivor of Russian politics since the fall of the Soviet Union, is being seen less rarely with the president, leading to speculation that he is lined up to be the fall guy for military failures.
Professor Mark Galeotti lived on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, one of the wide, radial roads that leads into central Moscow - and the favoured route of President Vladimir Putin’s (middle) motorcade to the Kremlin. The Russian leader has always been security conscious, but today, on the losing side of his 'special military operation' in Ukraine (left) he is more paranoid than ever. Galeotti tells Daily Mail it is impossible not to be reminded of Adolf Hitler’s (bottom right) last days, when a war he started was also going against him.
