Yesterday, Prince William was a star player at the UK round of Maserati’s International Polo Tour. While being cheered on by his royal offsprings, Prince George of Cambridge and Princess Charlotte of Cambridge at the Beaufort Polo Club, the Duke of Cambridge helped bring home the trophy in a rematch between his Team Maserati and Team Dhamani 1969.
Royal Photographer Mark Cuthbert captured great photos of Princess Charlotte and Prince George as they cheered their dad at the match, which took place at the Gloucestershire-based Beaufort Polo Club.

Prince William played alongside England’s International star player, Malcolm Borwick, as well as Bruce Merivale-Austin and Josh Cork. All were wearing unique luxury polo shirts designed exclusively for the Maserati Team by La Martina. Made from 100% pure Italian cotton pique, only four of these shirts have been made – one for each player on the Maserati team.
His Royal Highness took part in the game in aid of Centrepoint, of which The Duke is Patron and in support of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, of which The Duke is President. As children, Princes William and Harry made private visits to Centrepoint services with their mother, the late Diana Princess of Wales, who herself was Centrepoint’s Patron.
Victory was secured by Team Maserati, whose powerful performance saw a final score of 6 – 5 ½. After an impressive showing, the Maserati Most Valuable Player prize was presented to Karan Thapar.

The field was equipped with another type of horsepower as attendees found the entire range of Maserati vehicles on display. From the 430 HP Levante S GranSport that led the players on to the field to start the match, the GranTurismo MC in pride of place within the VIP hospitality, to the Levante S GranLusso, and the Ghibli GranLusso on display for all guests to view and explore outside of the Beaufort Polo Clubhouse.
The Maserati Polo Tour continues in Spain on July 25 with the 47° Torneo Internacional de Polo at the Santa Marìa Polo Club of Sotogrande. The final of the high-handicap tournament of the ‘Maserati Copa de Oro’ will be held on August 31.
