The world of polo is often associated with privilege and wealth. It is a sport that requires significant financial resources to participate in at the highest levels. At one point, Prince Harry and Argentine polo star Nacho Figaris seemed to epitomize the close bond that can form between two elite figures in the insular world of polo. However, in recent years their relationship appears to have shifted, raising eyebrows and fueling speculation about the true nature of their friendship today.

It was at the Magic Millions Polo event in Australia last year that the first hints of strain between Harry and Figaris surfaced. Figaris, known for his charismatic presence on the polo field, reportedly gave Harry the cold shoulder according to eyewitnesses. Adding to the rumors of a rift, Harry and his wife Meghan were conspicuously absent from the event. The lack of acknowledgement from Figaris on social media about his long-time friend further fed speculation that something had changed in their dynamic.

Their friendship had seemed unshakable for many years prior. The two men first met in 2007 and bonded over their shared passion for polo. Over time, Figaris served as a mentor and confidant to the young Prince. However, as with any long-lasting friendship, time and circumstances can eventually test even the strongest of bonds.

One incident that appears to have contributed to growing distance was an event where Meghan allegedly monopolized attention, leaving Figaris' wife Delina feeling overlooked. This exacerbated existing tensions and fueled rumors of friction between the couples. As the years passed, it's said Prince Harry felt abandoned by his friend - a sentiment Figaris may have fed into with his apparent cold shoulder in Australia.

Money has also been cited as adding strain. Recent reports indicate Figaris had been heavily subsidizing Harry's polo expenses, which sometimes reached $100,000 per month. With costs piling up, Figaris is reportedly no longer willing to continue funding Harry's hobby at such a high level.

Furthermore, Figaris is said to be disappointed by Harry's transformation from a carefree young man to a self-absorbed celebrity more concerned with his public persona than the simple joys of the sport they once shared a passion for. This perception of Harry shifting priorities away from polo and toward fame appears to have taken a toll.

At an upcoming polo event in Saudi Arabia where Figaris plans to honor his charity, eyes will be on whether he extends an olive branch to Harry or if the divide persists. Only time will tell if this friendship, once so celebrated, can find its way back to the camaraderie and respect that defined their bond in its heyday. As their relationship enters a new complicated phase navigating fame, wealth and friendship, the world of polo watches with intrigue at the drama unfolding between these two former inseparables. Whether the storied friendship can weather the current storm remains to be seen.
