Prince Harry Heads Off for Next Leg of His Mini-Tour With Pal — British Passport in Hand

After his appearance at a conference, the Duke of Sussex traveled from Japan to Singapore where he will play polo for his charity Sentebale

Prince Harry is en route to his next stop in Asia.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, made his way through Tokyo's airport in Japan early Thursday to head to Singapore with his British passport in hand. (Although he's lived in the United States since 2020, he is not a citizen.) He is traveling with friends, including polo player Ignacio "Nacho" Figueras, for his annual charity polo match for his charity Sentebale.

During his time in Tokyo, Harry said he'd enjoyed tasting the local Kobe steak and happily posed for a selfie and shared a hug with a choir from South Africa after their performance at the sports conference he was attending.

Harry's main focus in Japan was the appearance at the ISPS Sports Values Summit-Special Edition on Wednesday, where he reiterated his commitment to philanthropy.

"I get a huge amount of fulfillment giving back to as many people as possible," Harry told his hosts. "My life is charity, always has been, always will be."

Prince Harry — who is traveling without his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2 — was highlighting the role that sport can play in promoting mental and physical health and bringing people together.

"I have long believed that sport is a conduit for healing – not just for the mind and body but the world. Sport requires having a dream and the need for community," he said in a statement via Sentebale.

"Whether banded together in victory or showing up with respect in loss, no one ever crosses a finish line or scores a goal without the help and belief of others," the founder of the Invictus Games, which is heading to Germany next month, added. "The lessons we learn on the field are often the same principles of philanthropy; that a mission, hard work, dedication, and partnership can make even the impossible, possible. That is what giving back requires, and we are all capable of creating or joining a team to do so."

Joining him on the panel at the summit on Wednesday was an international and diverse group — ISPS Handa Founder Dr. Handa, former New Zealand All Blacks and ISPS Handa Ambassador Dan Carter, Sentebale Chair Sophie Chandauka MBE, Rector and Vice-Chancellor of South Africa’s Stellenbosch University Professor Wim de Villiers and Royal Australian Navy Veteran and Invictus Games Gold Medalist Steve James.

Carter said, “When I was playing sport, I was most proud of inspiring the next generation of kids coming through. Now, I have been able to bring my two passions together — sport and giving back."

When Harry spent some time with the Stellenbosch University Choir, the oldest choir in South Africa, he told them to keep spreading the love. And, when a man off-camera said, "For such an icon, so humble," Harry quickly retorted, "Well, you are fabulous." That drew laughs from the choir and the two men then shared a hug.

While Harry has been hanging with his friends and speaking at the conference, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex had a night at one of Taylor Swift's concerts at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium on Tuesday, a source confirmed to PEOPLE on Wednesday.

At one point in the concert, Swift launched into her 'Fearless' era, and told the excited crowd, "Let's go back to high school!" Meghan then jumped up out of her chair to sing along to "You Belong with Me."

Prince Harry established the charity Sentebale with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006 to help children and young people affected by poverty, inequality, and HIV/AIDS in southern Africa. Since 2010, the Polo Cup has raised over $14 million for the organization’s work, and Harry will saddle up for the match on Saturday.

Harry and his brother, Prince William, have traditionally used polo as a way of raising funds for some of their favorite causes. Last month, the Prince of Wales played a game in Windsor in front of his wife, Kate Middleton, and charity supporters for a variety of causes close to the couple's hearts.
