Prince Harry, Marc Jacobs, and This Hat

          Pin It

This Saturday was the Veuve Cliquot Manhattan Polo Classic.

What does that mean?

It means the French champagne brand set up a massive yellow tent on Govener’s Island in NYC, ferried celebrities like Chloe Sevigny and Kate Hudson to the field, served over a thousand bottles of champagne to game-watchers like Matt Lauer and Marc Jacobs, and yes, there were horses too.

The match was a charity fundraiser for the Princess Diana of Wales Foundation, and Prince Harry gave a speech before the match, saying “it is such an honor to see so many people come out in support of my mother’s cause, in one of my mother’s favorite cities… now please watch as I fall off a horse I’ve never ridden before.”

Of course, Harry didn’t fall – instead, he scored the winning point for his team, beating Ralph Lauren model and international polo champ Nacho Figueras in the process.

That made the crowd happy – but the free champagne and small cluster of ice cream trucks parked on the polo grounds were even better received.  You can’t take a girl away from her Nutty Buddy.  xoxo faran
