And that’s exactly what he did this week as the Duke of Sussex announced a $1.5 million charity donation from his memoir at a surprise polo match in Aspen, Colorado. Here’s what you need to know.
There’s nothing that fans love to see more than a prince on a horse, right? During the surprise appearance at the polo match, Harry said that he is committed to donating $1.5 million of the proceeds of his upcoming memoir to charity.

“This is one of several donations I plan to make to charitable organizations and I’m grateful to be able to give back in this way for the children and communities who gravely need it,” he said in a statement.
Harry added, “The Sentebale Polo Cup is critical to securing the funds needed to advance this important mission, and I’m thrilled to be able to support Sentebale, both in person and financially through a separate charitable donation to meet this immediate need.”
As many fans already know, the prince co-founded Sentebale in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to help children affected by HIV in Africa. “Sentebale is grateful for his personal contribution, which will allow the organization to continue operating at full scale and continue providing critical services to at-risk youth in Southern Africa,” the charity said in a statement.
Unfortunately for royal fans, Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle was not at the polo match, as she was most likely at home with the couple’s two children, Archie and Lilibet.
