Prince Harry is in Tokyo!

The Duke of Sussex arrived at Haneda Airport this morning, ahead of the International Sports Promotion Society (ISPS Handa)'s Sports Values Summit tomorrow. He was joined by his good friend (and polo teammate) Nacho Figueras.

Prince Harry was pictured smiling as he walked through the crowded airport, wearing a black polo and a baseball cap with the Archewell Foundation logo on it. In the terminal, a reporter asked Harry, "How do you feel about being in Japan for the first time in four years?" To which he replied, "Good to see you again."

The last time Harry was in Japan was in 2019. While there, he attended the Rugby World Cup Final and met with para-athletes.

On Saturday, Harry and Nacho will attend the Sentebale's annual Polo Cup at the Singapore Polo Club, sponsored by ISPS Hanada.

"The annual Polo Cup is essential to Sentebale’s vital work ensuring children and young people are healthy, resilient, and able to thrive," Prince Harry said in a statement. "The funds raised this year will support our Clubs and Camps programme, which provides intensive psychosocial support to young people living with HIV. In a time where being HIV positive is no longer a death sentence, we are empowering young people to know their status, stay healthy, and eliminate the stigma so that they can break the cycle."

Last year's match took place in Aspen. During the tournament, Nacho said Prince Harry "found an amazing teammate" in Meghan Markle. "Being able to be with them for the last two months only made me happier—seeing them be a lovely family with their kids and their dogs, and that's really what he always wanted, I'm very happy for them," he said.
