As his polo mount spooked, Prince Harry of Wales tumbled to the turf and fell into a back-flip on the polo grounds playing field. The 25-year-old Prince, unhurt, remounted and scored a goal for, the Black Rock team.
The opposing force, the Black Watch team (including Argentinian equestrian, Ralph Lauren World of Polo model and polo player Nacho Figueras), won the match in overtime, beating the Black Rock team (and British Prince Harry) 6-5.
