Royal Charity Polo Cup on Wednesday (July 6), at the Guards Polo Club, near Windsor.One sceptic wrote on Twitter: “Copying his younger brother then?

No originality”, while another added: “He couldn’t hold it out any longer to follow in Harry’s footsteps. I wonder if this is going to be a frequent occurrence?”But William’s defenders were out in force, with one of them tweeting: “So apparently, Prince William is copying Prince Harry as it has been announced he will be playing Polo on Wednesday.
