Sentebale seems to be ill-fated with a yearly 'problem'.

Contentious charity boss...I'm curious to the cause of disagreement, argument, quarrels and/or disputes.

I have heard that charity doesn't go hand-in-hand with The Apache.

I agree , there is always something off in that organisation ,but what do you mean by doesn't go hand in hand?Do you mean Harry doesn't care or as in his training doesn't allow him to be more involved??

Every organization has it's problems its only that Harry's are reported ...other than that it seems the people in charge when the boss is away aren't exactly the people he should have trusted running things so good for him replacing them hope it all works out for the best.

With respect, we don't know if there are any problems with Sentebale. Kedge Martin, for all we know could have been made a better offer. Prior to joining Sentebale she worked for Well Child for 9 years which as you know Harry is a patron of. Her association with Sentebale, Harry's personal charity could have made her name in her field. Royal associations have a way of attracting attention.

In my view, his demise with Sentebale comes weeks after the financial report published by The Telegraph (there is a thread about that around November 2011), which somewhat said that they had only profited around GBP 1.5 during 2011, GBP 1 million was used for charity, the remaining for salary and operational expenses -- that would be in charity world "bad results". One shouldn't spend for salaries and operational expenses out of the total income in charity more than 10%.

I'm impressed that there will be a polo match in Brazil , proceedings going to Sentebale. This is one charity that Prince Harry will be part of all his life, IMV...Looking forward to it!

I recall reading that Harry was besotted by Sentebale. It's not easy starting a charity from scratch and for this reason I'm at times disapointed by the press coverage it receives.

In the end they have got themselves to blame by hiring the wrong people and letting costs go up.They need to start running more efficiently and hiring people who don't charge as much.

St. Regis Continues Its Commitment to Polo around the World with The Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup in Sao Paolo, Brazil this March

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) announces today that the St. Regis brand will expand its partnership with Sentebale, by joining the charitable polo match played in Brazil for the first time this March. The Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup aims to raise support for the improved healthcare and education of the children of Lesotho, and will have HRH Prince Harry, playing for the Sentebale team, against St. Regis Connoisseur Nacho Figueras, who will captain the St. Regis team.

“As an ambassador for Sentebale and St. Regis, I am looking forward to playing polo against Prince Harry in Brazil to help raise funds or this very worthy cause.”
”As our global portfolio grows, so does the global nature of our guests.

I think Nacho Figueras is hot, what a lovely guy.

Prince Harry's first official visit to Brazil will include a match of international polo, with the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup on Sunday 11th of March, marking the finale of the Royal Tour.

Taking place in Campinhas, Sao Paulo State, the match will be a star-studded event both on and off the field with leading Argentine player Nacho Figueras heading up the St. Regis Team, rivaling the Sentebale Team which will include Prince Harry.

Yes Nacho is very attractive. Thanks for the links Wannable.

Hope Harry does well, but above all hope they raise lots of cash for Sentebale.

You're welcome. Prince Harry will be finalizing today playing charity polo. Then he will be on a 3 day holiday, possibly in Pantanal.

Nacho Figueras interviewed by Paul Harrison, Sky News. He said politics of Argentina doesn't interfere with sport (polo), that a boy!

Lothwen · « **Reply #72 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:19:12 PM »

Wannabe, he doesn't look like he's ready to play polo in that first pic, so maybe this was before the crowds got there?

wannable · « **Reply #73 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:20:38 PM »

The initial photo has no public in the background, despite the kick-off/arrival of HRH Prince Henry to the polo field, part of the event. (One arrives in style when the public is already there waiting for him/the game. Subsequent photos may possibly tell otherwise, i.e. if the public are in some stands

snokitty · « **Reply #74 on:** March 11, 2012, 04:22:14 PM »

I agree Eri surely they don't wait until all the people are there in order to show up. It clearly states that Harry was just arriving and he obviously wasn't even suited up. Wouldn't the entrance be when the players came onto the field. I think it will be a success as everything else has been.
