Prince Harry Throws Hissy Fit After Being Thrown from Horse During Polo Match in Barbados
>> Monday, February 1, 2010
Prince Harry threw a hissy fit after he was thrown from his horse during the annual Sentebale Polo Cup in Barbados last weekend. He told Sky News that he tried throwing himself clear of the falling horse after it slipped. He was "a bit sore" but otherwise uninjured. Prince Harry, who was visibly upset, threw his polo mallet and punched his helmet after the fall.
I guess he had a good reason to be ticked off. A "mystery benefactor" promised to donate $100,000 Barbados dollars ($50,000 USD) to the his charity if he stayed on his horse for the entire match. The donor has since reportedly told the prince that it's "clear that the horse fell over, rather than [Harry] fell off it" and has honored his $100,000 donation.
Prince Harry raised $47,700 USD for his charity Sentebale, which helps poor children in the African kingdom of Lesotho.
