Empty stadium! Harry ‘silent’ as 260 spectators return polo tickets – stresses ‘we only welcome William.’
In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry’s polo match in Singapore on August 12th received little to no attention from the local audience.
Despite the noble cause behind the event, which aimed to support disadvantaged young people affected by HIV and AIDS, the stadium remained empty as spectators returned their tickets.
This unexpected outcome raises questions about the success of the charity event and the lack of interest from the Singaporean community.
The Duke of Sussex, known for his philanthropic efforts, took part in the sporting event for his charity, Centrebell.
Riding for the Royal Salute Centrebell team, he played against a Singapore-based club led by Argentinian polo player Nacho Figueras, who also serves as the charity’s ambassador.
The match ended in a draw, with both Harry and Figueras showcasing their skills on the field.
Following the game, the Duke was presented with a trophy to commemorate his participation.
However, despite the presence of esteemed players and the charitable nature of the event, the absence of a crowd raises concerns about the effectiveness of the fundraising aspect.
Initially, the plan was to utilize ticket sales proceeds to reward the winning team.
Yet, with no spectators in attendance, it remains unclear who the organizers expected to receive donations from.
This puzzling situation suggests that the wealthy elite may have opted to stay home instead of attending the event.
Singapore, known for its cleanliness and efficiency, lacks a strong polo culture.
With limited land and a small population, the sport does not resonate with the majority of locals.
Moreover, the absence of historical ties to polo further diminishes its appeal.
Instead, art shows and air-conditioned venues are more typical forms of entertainment in the city-state.
Consequently, the decision to hold a polo match in Singapore seems out of place and raises questions about its relevance to the local community.
Furthermore, the lack of Asian participants in the event raises suspicions about its true intentions.
Despite being held in Asia, the majority of the participants were non-Asian.
This disparity gives the impression that the event was merely a PR stunt, using the Asian backdrop as a prop.
This perception, coupled with the minimal interest from the Singaporean audience, does not bode well for the success of Prince Harry’s endeavor.
In contrast, Prince William’s upcoming trip to Singapore is expected to receive a warm reception.
His visit will focus on the Earthshot campaign, a popular and successful initiative.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are anticipated to engage genuinely with their host nation, ensuring a respectful and appropriate execution of their activities.
It is likely that William’s trip will overshadow Harry’s, further highlighting the disparity in public interest between the two brothers.
Local news reports indicate that 260 individuals left the stadium before the match even began, emphasizing the lack of enthusiasm surrounding the event.
Video clips of the match also confirm the absence of spectators, leaving many puzzled as to how the event managed to raise funds for the charity.
Considering the expenses associated with transporting polo ponies, it is questionable whether the event generated any significant financial support for the cause.
This leads to speculation that the polo match may have primarily served as an opportunity for wealthy individuals to indulge in the sport under the guise of charity.
