It is nice that there is more support. Beatrice seems to becoming more attractive with maturity.

Just because he's American doesn't mean he's by extension, good at baseball.
That's like saying because you're Italian, you must be good at singing opera.

Oh thanks Melibea! I was hoping they would have his pitching on video.
He did do a good job, just like a pro.

You two can come to Milano, we will have pasta, listen to opera and talk about royalty all together, no.

My local news here in Chicago had a video of Harry falling off his horse during the polo match. Between giggles ("He fell on his royal bum!"), the newscaster did manage to add that he was playing for a charity for children with AIDS in Africa.
Nice, but I wish they had specifically named American Friends of Sentebale as the charity in case others wanted to donate. At least Harry was partially successful in getting the word out for Sentebale.

That would be fabulous if he visited the U.S. every year!

Did he come to the U.S. last year? If so, perhaps he will come every year.

I like how the younger royal set seems to be more approachable. If that continues, I think popularity in royalty will be on the rise.

It is not really unusual for the polo set to fall of their horses. Charles, Wills, Harry, they have all fallen off at one time or another.

I think the americans are most comfortable with the British royals over any others. For good or for bad there is a history between the two nations, and a shared language.

Poor Harry. He falls off his horse and that's all the media talks about. 
Wonder how much money they raised on this trip....
Love the video of him pitching at the mets game. Funny how he was communicating with the pitcher.
It would be good to make this an annual trek. Good for American/British relations.

I liked the message on one of the crawling news things at the bottom of a local newscast: "Harry falls off horse; wins over New York."

Harry seemed like he was having fun, and the Americans related to it.

Yeah, it was a great thing for him however, it would have been better if it were a Yankee game.
There are the World Champions & Everyone knows the New York Yankees heck Americans are called Yanks by everyone. Too bad the Yankees were away last week.
I will say that he did throw his pitch alot better than the Mets Pitchers that day. The mets got bombed by the visiting team. Maybe, harry should have pitched that game.
