Prince Harry fell from his polo pony yesterday (NZT) as he played in a charity match in South Africa.
The fifth in line to the throne toppled from his mount during a clash in the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup, a major fundraiser in Cape Town for the charity he set up to help children suffering with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho, Southern Africa.
Fortunately the prince, who minutes earlier had scored a goal, appeared unhurt and he quickly got to his feet and walked off the field. Within minutes the royal daredevil was back in play.

But in getting back on his horse without his helmet, Prince Harry treated the crowd to a quick glimpse of his growing bald patch.
