The Duke of Sussex and
Argentinian polo player Nacho Figueras have been friends for over 15 years, and
Harry has known Delfina. After the Duke and the Duchess moved to
the US, they became even closer with Nacho and Delfina, an Argentine socialite
and businesswoman, and earlier in 2022 Delfina revealed that Meghan calls
the pair the “p-wives”, or polo wives.
Delfina was at the Aspen
Valley Polo Club on Thursday 25 August to support her husband and
Harry as they took part in the annual Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup, a key
fundraiser for the charity founded by the Prince in 2006.
Speaking of her blossoming
friendship with Meghan, Delfina added: “She is so wonderful and strong.
Stronger than she knows. “I love being around my friends, and I will
always support her.”
Nacho also praised the
relationship between Meghan and Harry, sharing: “I have known him for so long
and he has always wanted someone to love and marry and have a family with, so
it makes me so happy to see them happy and with two beautiful children.”
In June, Delfina took to social
media to share a picture of herself and Meghan watching their husbands
play polo – Harry joined Nacho’s Californian polo team Los Padres in May – and
captioned the post by referencing her nickname for the former actress and
Harry, revealing that she calls them ‘M’ and ‘H’.
“M, looking forward to
many more of these times with you and H,” Delfina wrote, adding:
“Getting to spend time together over these 2 months was so special. I wish
everyone knew you the way you are.”
Delfina’s comments come the
week Meghan released her first podcast with Spotify, Archetypes.
Delfina and Meghan have become close friends
The podcast has been well
received worldwide and will follow Meghan as she “investigates the labels
that try to hold women back”.
The first episode featured an
interview with Serena Williams, and the two ladies discussed their pregnancies,
motherhood, and the stereotypes that women face.
They also spoke about the
double standards women experience when they are labeled as
“ambitious” – and how it has impacted their own lives.
