Peter Byrne/PA WirePrince Harry arrived in Florida on Wednesday and is really making us wish we'd booked a vacation in Palm Beach for the week.
The royal is spending time in the sunshine state to attend the 2016 Invictus Games—the annual Paralympic-style sporting event for ill and wounded military servicemen—in Orlando as the Honorary Chairman alongside President George W. Bush.
However, before heading to the games later this week, he visited the Valiente polo grounds in Palm Beach for the Royal Salute Polo Cup on Wednesday. The tournament raised funds for his Sentebale charity, which aims to help children affected by HIV and AIDS in Lesotho (a kingdom in Africa).
As if all of this information doesn't already make you love him enough, Prince Harry continued pulling at our heartstrings in even more ways since touching down in Florida:
1. His Pants: Sauntering up to the polo fields for the tournament, wearing these white pants and a black shirt, the redhead looks insanely attractive. We couldn't help but keep scrolling through all the photos and videos of him (now let us wipe the drool from our mouths).
2. His Royal Riding Skills: It's one thing to watch a man get sweaty and play sports, but it's a total different circumstance watching him effortlessly do so while riding a horse. Just look at that form...bravo!
3. His Photo Ops: The fact that he graciously took photos with fans during the event just proves what kind of guy he is, even smiling from ear to ear!
In fact, E! News learned he even went against his own word and took a selfie with a fan to raise money for Sentebale, auctioning off the opportunity for a whopping $7,000!
4. His Dedication: Despite the adverse conditions with quite a bit of rain during the tournament, Prince Harry stayed dedicated to his team and continued to play in the polo match, emerging triumphant.
5. His Touching Speech: On a more serious note, Prince Harry thanked those involved in the polo cup for donating to Sentebale and expressed his dedication to helping children in Lesotho. He explained how he had visited the area 12 years ago and saw how HIV and AIDS had torn families apart, relating it to the loss of his own mother, Princess Diana.
"Having lost my own mother seven years before, I felt a profound connection to these children. In spite of the obvious differences in our lives, we shared the loss of a parent and that ever-present emptiness that could never be filled. For many of these children, their situation was compounded by the need to feed and care for brothers and sisters – as a result there was simply no time for them to be children anymore."
Thus, he continued, "I resolved to do what ever I could to help. The result is our charity Sentebale, meaning 'Forget me not' which Prince Seeso and I founded together in memory of our mothers, ten years ago. Incidentally I found out just today that forget me nots were my mother's favorite flowers when she was growing up."
He explained how the group has raised enough funding to build centers that help children affected by HIV and AIDS seek help and support. Eventually he said he hopes to "provide 1 million hours of support" to these children by 2020.
"I hope you're all here tonight, not just because it's such a wonderful event," he concluded, "But to help some of the world's most vulnerable children and to give them the childhood, and ultimately the future, they deserve."
