They may be royal and next in line to the throne but Prince Harry and brother William proved they weren't above getting stuck in this afternoon.

The duo donned their polo gear to take part in a charity match at Cirencester Park Polo Club in Gloucestershire. 

And the activities appeared to tire out the flame-haired prince, who was photographed guzzling on a bottle of water after the event.

He may be second in line to the throne, but Prince Harry proved he weren't above getting stuck in this afternoon at a charity polo match

The brothers, who share a close bond, were participating in the Jerudong Trophy in a bid to raise funds for their chosen charities.

Billed as an intimate day by the event organisers, tickets started at £15 and offered punters the opportunity to watch the royals play in the horse-born sport.

The ticket price included access to the clubhouse restaurant and Tea Room and grandstand seating. 

The match today comes after a busy week for the pair who have attended war memorial events across the country.

But it hasn't been all work and no play as Prince Harry took time to meet veterans and stars of Hollywood on Thursday evening for the latest Christopher Nolan blockbuster Dunkirk premier at the Odeon in Leicester Square. 

The prince, a former army officer himself, quizzed survivors - now in their late 90s - about their experiences.   

Harry learned first hand about the massive 1940 operation to save hundreds of thousands of servicemen from advancing Nazi forces when he met men who had been on the French beaches. 

This is not the first time the princes have taken part in the annual event,  

In 2015 a 30-year-old Harry took part in the match. The keen equestrian clearly got heated as he galloped across the field and shouted at teammates. 

Despite his team losing the match, Harry was in good spirits afterwards as he conversed with other competitors.
