Prince Harry exchanged a chauffeur driven limousine for a horse-drawn carriage for his arrival at his charity polo match.

Prince Harry took the reins of the carriage and drove two grey horses onto the polo ground of an exclusive Brazilian hotel and estate where the event is being staged.

The royal appeared to be following in the footsteps of his grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, who used to drive carriages competitively but now only does so or recreation.

Sitting next to the prince was Alvaro Coelho da Fonseca, the owner of the hotel and estate where the Sentebale Polo Cup is being played.

Wearing a smart blazer, the royal smiled as he drove the carriage around the perimeter of the polo field.

The royal is taking part in the event near the city of Campinas in aid of his charity Sentebale which he co-founded in 2006.

Bittersweet symphony

The audience at a concert by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra had an unprogrammed addition to their night’s entertainment – a fight between two concertgoers in a private box.

Maestro Riccardo Muti was nearly through the second movement of Brahms Symphony No. 2 at the normally staid venue when the trouble started.

Concert-goers at Orchestra Hall were all the more stunned because the two men were fighting in one of the boxes where the well-to-do normally sit in decorous self-restraint.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the incident began when a man in his 30s started punching a 67-year-old man in one of the boxes.

Cyclists stage nude protest

About 300 nude bicyclists have ridden through the Peruvian capital of Lima to call attention to safety conditions and demand measures protecting cyclists.

Event organiser Octavio Zegarra said the protesters took to their bicycles nude to show that “this is our body”.

He added: “With this we go out in the streets. We don’t have a car to protect us”.

Mr Zegarra asked others to “please respect us”.

Designer uniforms for staff

Her sartorial choices have seen her frequently fly the flag for British fashion - and now front of house staff at the Duchess of Cambridge’s London home are following in her footsteps.

Their new uniforms were unveiled by luxury label Jaeger as part of the royal residence’s £12 million transformation. The high-end British brand was brought in to kit out the Kensington Palace team last year, marking a significant wardrobe change for staff who have worn the same in-house designs for more than two decades.

When the palace reopens later this month, staff will sport bright red, double-breasted blazers and black trousers or skirts created by the 128-year-old firm.
