Nacho Figueras Allegedly Cuts Ties with Prince Harry Over Horses

get top stories via email

Prince Harry’s close friend, Nacho Figueras, has reportedly ended his association with the prince after revealing that Meghan Markle encouraged Harry to sell his two horses.

The decision resulted in a staggering loss of $4 million.

However, the question remains: why would Nacho sever ties over a mere equine matter?

Is there more to the story?

Maintaining Po’o Ponies is an expensive endeavor, with each horse costing approximately $190,000 and their hay expenses exceeding expectations.

Rumors suggest that the Sussexes have been facing financial difficulties since stepping down from their royal duties.

Despite this, they managed to purchase a luxurious home in Montecito worth $14.65 million in an off-market sale last June.

Additionally, Meghan’s extravagant wardrobe has recently showcased new pieces valued at over $121,000.

Meanwhile, Harry’s polo hobby and the upkeep of his $190,000 ponies may have proved challenging for the couple.

This could be a potential reason behind Nacho’s decision to distance himself from the Sussexes.

Prince Harry and Nacho Figueras initially bonded over their shared love of playing polo and their philanthropic endeavors.

Their friendship began when Nacho became an ambassador for Centibale in 2007, an organization co-founded by Prince Harry to support children and young people affected by HIV.

However, it was observed that Nacho did not invite Harry to his birthday party on March 4th last year, nor did he include him in his New Year’s celebration alongside friend Chris Martin.

Furthermore, there have been no recent sightings of Harry and Nacho together on the polo field.

Speculation suggests that Harry, having spent a significant amount on Meghan’s beauty needs, may now lack the funds required for polo pony services, which are known to be quite costly.

UFO No More, a renowned royal fashion blog, analyzed the 2018 wardrobe expenditures of various members of royalty and found that Meghan outspent everyone else with an astonishing $500,000.

This amount was five times more than what Kate Middleton spent, according to textile market intelligence platform Yarns and Fibers.

In addition to her lavish clothing choices, Meghan is known for her collection of luxury handbags and other extravagant accessories.

Meanwhile, Harry has faced accusations of neglecting his horses.

The recent death of Drizzle, a pony used by both Prince William and Prince Harry for polo, made headlines.

Reports claim that during a charity match, Harry noticed Drizzle struggling and retired him.

Unfortunately, within minutes, Drizzle suffered a heart attack and passed away.

Some believe that Harry mistreats his ponies, as he has been seen wearing spurs during matches, resulting in bloody injuries to the horses’ bodies.

However, St. James’s Palace refuted claims that Harry continued playing despite the injury.

Furthermore, Harry has been accused of stealing two of Nacho’s horses.

Polo ponies are valued at around £200,000 each, and they often sustain injuries from mallet strikes during the game.

The constant scrambling on the field also takes a toll on their health, requiring extensive care and recovery.

With Harry owning five to six horses, each requiring at least £2,500 for maintenance and insurance, the annual cost reaches £180,000.

Given their inability to hold regular jobs and their diminishing financial resources, it may not be sustainable for them to continue affording staff, upkeep, and renovations for much longer.

Additionally, Prince Charles has grown tired of Harry’s frequent requests for financial assistance, as revealed by Harry himself during his interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Harry stated that he has been cut off from his family’s financial support and relied on the inheritance left to him by his late mother, Princess Diana, to sustain their lifestyle.

He added, “I think she saw it coming.”

This situation further underscores the compatibility between Harry and Meghan, as they both navigate their new lives together.

The rift between Harry and Nacho raises questions about the true cause of their fallout.

Is Meghan solely responsible for the strained relationship?
