Royalty was joined by a number of special guests at the British round of Maserati’s International Polo Tour. The action-packed match was held at one of Britain’s oldest and most prestigious venues; Cirencester Park Polo Club.
The Maserati Jerudong Park Polo Trophy is one of four events in the Italian brand’s global polo tour which has already seen thrilling action at the inaugural match of the series in Sylt Island, Germany.
Maserati is embarking on the 2015 tour across Europe, USA and the Far East with its global partner, La Martina, official supplier of the Maserati Team. To celebrate the tour, the two brands have launched a new capsule collection designed exclusively for Maserati by the premium polo clothing brand La Martina.

Prince Harry took part in the game in aid of his chosen charities Centrepoint, Well Child and Map Action.
In the end, it was the Maserati Team that secured a well-contested victory, with a final score of 8-7. Prince Harry was named ‘Most Valuable Player’ whilst the ‘Best Playing Pony’ accolade was awarded to polo player, Satnam Dhillon’s, pony named ‘Mellie’.
