Disaster strikes Prince Harry’s right hand when Nacho Figueras slips from his horse during a polo match with his wife Delfina Blaquier at Magic Millions

Nacho Figueras barely managed to stay on his horse on Sunday as he played a game of polo with his wife Delfina Blaquier on the Gold Coast.

Prince Harry’s right-hand man, 46, almost lost his balance completely when he reached out to hit the ball and tumbled instead.

During a shocking display at the Pacific Fair Magic Millions Polo & Showjumping show, the Argentinian model could be seen clinging to the neck of his polo pony.

As his horse continued to gallop across the field, the polo star held on to the reins and his mallet as best he could.

Onlookers watched in horror as it looked like the socialite was about to be thrown completely from his horse.

However, Nacho did the impossible and managed to get himself back on his saddle to continue the game.

Meanwhile, his photographer wife, 43, remained firmly on her horse throughout the race as she rocked a bright pink helmet.

Nacho – real name Ignacio Figueras Bermejo – landed in Australia on Thursday for the Magic Millions show with his wife and their daughter Alba.

He has made headlines in recent years for his close friendship with Prince Harry.

Their friendship is thought to date back to 2007 – so perhaps it’s no surprise that he has become a supportive figure in Harry’s new life away from the royal family.

They have played polo alongside each other in several matches over the years, and Nacho has become one of Harry and Meghan Markle’s most vocal supporters, praising them in interviews.

The father-of-four – dubbed the ‘David Beckham of Polo’ – was also among a handful of the Duke and Duchess’s closest confidantes to appear in the couple’s Netflix documentary.

His close relationship with the couple comes despite his public openness about his friendship with Harry and Meghan, who has previously insisted her family has a “fundamental right to privacy” as well as launching a royal-inspired fragrance.

In September 2019, Nacho — who witnessed the early days of the couple’s romance and later was a guest at their wedding — appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ show to announce that he would “defend his friends” with his life.

The millionaire seems completely comfortable mentioning his friendship with the royal family in interviews, as that same year he told Town and Country magazine: ‘What I like most about Harry is how real he is and how serious he is about improving lives. for children who have not had the blessings that we have had.”
