Meghan was animatedly cheering Harry on from the sidelines at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club and was later seen consoling her husband after his team, Los Padres, were sadly beaten in their league final.

Harry joined the team in May and has spent the last few weeks playing alongside his teammates, which includes his close friend Nacho Figueras, a professional polo player who founded Los Padres.

He wrote: "Thrilled to be riding alongside my friend, Prince Harry, and the rest of the Los Padres team at the @santabarbarapoloclub's Harry East Memorial Tournament.

"We've ridden together many times over the years and now that we're both parents, it's extra special to be able to spend this time together."

Meghan consoled Harry after his loss

He added: "The name Los Padres was inspired by the proximity of the field to the Los Padres National Forest and also by our connection as fathers."

Harry and Nacho have been friends for over 13 years and bonded over their shared love of sport and philanthropy.

"Of course, I think the fact that we both feel the same way about giving back obviously helps you to have a good relationship," he previously told Insider.
