Prince Harry appeared to wipe his nose on his shirt in front of Meghan Markle in a cringeworthy video.
Last Friday in Santa Barbara, Nacho Figueras, 47, competed in the Royal Salute Polo Challenge against the Duke of Sussex.
The annual event raises money for Sentebale, a foundation that Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho founded in 2006 to help underprivileged children.
Following the Sentebale team's triumph, Figueras applauded Prince Harry on Instagram, praising his "commitment to making a difference" as "truly inspiring".

Prince Harry, 39, could then be seen touching his nose before appearing to wipe his hand on his shirt.
One X user wrote: "That nose rubbing/wiping it on your hand is so gross."
