Polo-playing Prince Harry takes another tumble from his horse

Things got a little rocky for sporty Prince Harry when he took a tumble while horsing around during a polo match.

Prince overboard!

Prince Harry certainly had a tough time at the polo yesterday in Cape Town when he took a tumble from his horse not once, but twice.

The royal was in town to play a charity match on behalf of his charity, Sentebale, and had a hard time getting his horse to cooperate for the day.

The 31-year-old took his first fall when his horse let him slide over his neck, causing Harry to fall from the saddle.

The second fall came in the midst of a scrum where Harry was competing for the ball, when he fell off sideways from his horse, hurting his hand in the process.

Luckily for royal watchers everywhere, Harry wasn’t seriously hurt in the process and is set to continue the tour without a hitch.

Hopefully with a more well trained horse!
