Meghan takes baby Archie to cheer on Harry at charity polo match

The Duchess of Sussex took baby Archie to cheer on Prince Harry and Prince William at a charity polo match.

Harry and William were taking part in the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day, in memory of the late Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

The charity match saw Harry and William compete against one another on opposite teams.

William played for the King Power Air Asia team, alongside Leicester City chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, while Harry joined the Tarmac team.

Aiyawatt is the son of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who died in a helicopter crash at Leicester's stadium last year.

The pair were also supported from the sidenline by the Duchess of Cambridge.

The newest member of the royal family was cradled by the Duchess of Sussex as she watched her husband in the Berkshire sunshine.

Kate could also be seen playing with Louis nearby on the sidelines.

There was no sign of the reported rift between the couples as Harry and William smiled while they posed together for photographs after the match.

William got the better of his brother on the field, with his team recording a narrow 7-6 victory.

A small crowd gathered under a gazebo to watch the brothers duke it out on the field before William held the large silver trophy triumphantly during the presentation.

Fundraising from the event will support charities including the Invictus Games Foundation, which was set up by Harry to help injured military personnel, and The Queen's Commonwealth Trust.

The match will help raise funds and awareness for charities supported by the royal brothers.

The special event marks the royal cousins’ first public play-date together.

While Meghan went for sartorial minimalism and LA cool, Kate opted for an altogether more feminine look in an LK Bennett Madison dress in pink (which is sold out online) and her go-to Castañer espadrilles.
