Harry, 41, is in the famous Colorado mountain town for the World Snow Polo Championships against his long-time friend Nacho Figueras.
Competitive championships will take place at Rio Grande Park on Wednesday and Thursday.
Harry’s team includes polo stars Grant Gazi and Nic Roldan.
He will face his old friend and Argentinian polo player Nacho, who is thought to have been friends with the royal family since 2007.
The two have played polo alongside each other in various matches over the years, and Nacho has become one of Harry and Meghan Markle’s most vocal supporters, praising them in magazine interviews and television appearances.

The model, dubbed the ‘David Beckham of Polo’, was among the Duke and Duchess’ closest confidants, who also appeared in the couple’s Netflix documentary.
Last year, Harry scored a victory against the professional player in a charity polo match in Miami.
He triumphed in the pro-celebrity polo game to benefit Sentebale, the charity the prince founded in 2006.
Harry, the new president, Dr. He resigned as boss of Sentebale in March after making a series of incendiary allegations about the behavior of Sophie Chandauka.
Sentebale has since removed polo matches from its fundraising activities following the Duke’s departure from the charity.
At the end of the match, which ended 3-1, the prince was presented with the trophy and then received a passionate kiss from Meghan in front of waiting photographers.
In 2022, Harry won a charity tournament in Colorado, scoring an impressive five goals.
Duke’s team won the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup in Aspen.

Harry joined his friend and teammate Nacho for the tournament, which saw Sentebale compete against many other teams.
In September 2019, Nacho, who witnessed the first days of Harry and Meghan’s love and later was a guest at their wedding, appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ show and announced that he would ‘protect his friends with his life’.
He also described Meghan as ‘incredible’ in the Sussexes’ Netflix documentary and praised the former actress for ‘giving up everything for the man she loves’.
During the Harry and Meghan docuseries, Nacho also revealed how the prince came to trust Meghan after sharing his first date with her.
He described how he and his wife, Delfina Blaquier, went to dinner with Harry shortly after the prince met his future wife in 2017.
Nacho said: ‘He looked at us and said ‘guys, I met a girl, we just met but I think this could be the girl.’ It was immediately clear that these eyes belonged to someone in love.’
On Wednesday, Harry and Meghan announced they will star in a new Netflix production based on bestselling author Jasmine Guillory’s romantic novel The Wedding Date.
