The Duke of Sussex skipped his Princely title and was introduced unexpectedly at the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship in Aspen, Colorado, last week. As he saddled up for the polo match, Harry was introduced as “Harry, Wales”.
A source said: “Harry was introduced as Harry Wales, with no royal title mentioned ever or anywhere. He was there to play polo with his best friend Nacho [Figueras]. No titles, just fun.”
Prince Harry was called Harry Wales in school and in the army, in a nod to King Charles’ former title as the Prince of Wales. The Prince made a surprise appearance at the snow tournament and a spokesperson confirmed to People Magazine, he stood in for a friend.
An Instagram post from Aspen Polo revealed Harry and Nacho played on opposing teams – Harry saddled up for the Aspen Valley team, while Nacho teamed up with his sons, Artemo and Hilario, for the St. Regis team.
Because Harry was called “Prince Harry” in Aspen Snow Polo’s Instagram post about the players involved, it was a surprise that he was reportedly called Harry Wales.
Wales was the last name that Prince Harry and Prince William used when they were in school and serving in the British Army. This is not Harry’s title, with the name Wales instead being used by Prince William and his family.
Today, William’s children are titled as Prince George of Wales, Princess Charlotte of Wales and Prince Louis of Wales, as he now holds the title of the Prince of Wales.
Queen Elizabeth II gave Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the royal titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their 2018 wedding day as a wedding gift, and they held those titles after stepping back from their royal roles in 2020, but they are not addressed as HRH.
Their children’s titles are Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex. It is reported the couple has decided to adopt the name Sussex as Archie and Lilibet’s last name.
As showcased in ‘With Love, Meghan,’ Meghan explained: “It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now.”
