Prince Harry sent his Father's Day best from the polo field.

On Sunday the Duke of Sussex appeared in an Instagram post alongside his friend Ignacio "Nacho" Figueras, who is also his teammate on the Los Padres polo team.

"Happy Father's Day to all the padres from the padres of the #lospadrespoloteam" Figueras captioned the photo, with the two dads smiling from the sidelines. Figueras has previously explained that "the name Los Padres was inspired by the proximity of the field to the Los Padres National Forest and also by our connection as fathers."

Harry, 37, plays regularly at Santa Barbara Polo Club, which isn't far from the home in Montecito, California, that he shares with wife Meghan Markle and their children Archie, 3, and Lilibet Diana, 1.

Harry spent some of Father's Day weekend being cheered on by his No. 1 fan, Meghan, 40. But Nacho and Harry were not on the winning side in the match on Friday, meaning Los Padres didn't qualify for the final.

Harry's polo playing has brought a "cool vibe" to the club, an observer at the club has told PEOPLE.

"Prince Harry looks so comfortable and happy on the polo field, and everyone treats him like he is just one of the guys!" the observer said.
