The Duke of Sussex has been pictured leaving Haneda airport as he heads to Singapore for his charity polo match on Saturday.

Prince Harry, 38, wearing a T-shirt, blazer and jeans, smiled as he prepared to board his flight on Thursday alongside his friend and Argentine polo player, Nacho Figueras.

The pair both appeared on stage at a sports and philanthropy summit in Tokyo, Japan on Wednesday.

Speaking at the ISPS Sports Values Summit in the Japanese capital, Harry said: “I have long believed that sport is a conduit for healing – not just for the mind and body but the world. Sport requires having a dream and the need for community. Whether banded together in victory or showing up with respect in loss, no-one ever crosses a finish line or scores a goal without the help and belief of others.

He added: "The lessons we learn on the field are often the same principles of philanthropy; that a mission, hard work, dedication, and partnership can make even the impossible, possible. That is what giving back requires, and we are all capable of creating or joining a team to do so."

The Sentebale ambassador added: "Big thank you to Tokyo for your generous hospitality and kindness towards us. And of course, for your continued support of @sentebale!"
