Harry made reference to his late mother during the speech

He continued: "Every day, I hope to do her proud. She was tireless in her work to support and stigmatize those experiencing HIV/AIDS. Fittingly, her favourite flowers were forget-me-nots. I hope we can remember my mother’s legacy by recommitting to those we serve, whoever and wherever that may be."

The moving speech was made by the Prince after he scoring five goals for the Sentebale team and his team won the event over the Royal Salute team and US Polo ASSN.
