Kate's absence from the event made the attendance of other Royal Family members particularly significant.
Princess Anne's son Peter, who serves as Head of Partner Acquisition, Motorsport at the Wasserman group, has been a regular supporter at his cousin's charity polo events.
His attendance alongside NHS nurse Sperling demonstrated the continued family solidarity behind William's philanthropic efforts, particularly when the Princess of Wales was unable to attend.
Sperling made a stylish appearance at the polo grounds, wearing a £275 sleeveless buttermilk dress from St Clair paired with Brook Leather Espadrilles from Penelope Chilvers priced at £149.

The NHS nurse completed her summer ensemble with a £650 cross-body handbag from Anya Hindmarch and £310 Gucci sunglasses, demonstrating an elegant approach to the heatwave conditions.
The couple's relationship has seen them attending various royal events together, with Peter consistently showing support for his cousin's charitable initiatives.
Their presence at the polo match reinforced the family unity surrounding William's philanthropic work, particularly significant given the Princess of Wales's absence from this year's event.
This marks the 14th occasion that William has participated in this annual charity polo match, continuing a tradition that spans over a decade.
