Prince Harry calls off his trip to Dubai

Prince Harry calls off his trip to Dubai

Prince Harry has postponed his trip to Dubai amid growing unrest in the Arab world.

St. James’s Palace said on Friday “Prince Harry was very much looking forward to the visit, but he feels that it would be insensitive for him to participate in a sporting event at a time when there are matters of greater priority to focus on in the region.”

The Sentebale Polo Cup, scheduled to coincide with the royal’s visit, has been postponed. Prince Harry was due to play in the match on 19th March to raise money for his Sentebale charity, which helps vulnerable children in Lesotho.

According to his spokesperson “Prince Harry looks forward to other opportunities to visit Dubai in the future.”
