The Greenwich Polo Club is the last stop on Prince Harry's United States tour on Wednesday. He is in the state for the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup, a match benefiting a charity the 28-year-old prince co-founded.

After a luncheon and the match, he will be heading back home to England.

Prince Harry arrived in Greenwich just before noon and took a tour of the polo grounds.

In advance of the royal visit, local shops decorated in British flare, including Atelier 360, which had an event on Tuesday in advance of the prince’s visit.
 
"The pictures that I've seen, he's definitely cute. That whole family is extremely good looking,"
Véronique Lee, co-owner of the shop, said.

Some locals hoping to get a glance at the young royal.

"It is royalty. We don't have royalty in the United States," Lynn Capstick-Dale, of Greenwich, said.

The polo match will raise money for Sentebale, a charity Prince Harry helped create that benefits impoverished children in Lesotho. Sentebale means "forget me not."

The prince will lead the Sentebale Land Rover team.

Nacho Figueras, the face of Ralph Lauren's Polo Fragrances, will captain the St. Regis team, which will also include owner of the Greenwich Polo Club, Peter Brant.

The polo match, which starts later today, is by invitation only.
