Prince Harry has sparked a fierce backlash online after he was introduced as “Harry Wales” at an event this week. The Duke of Sussex, 41, was playing in St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship in Aspen, Colorado, just days ago.

The prince was reportedly playing after stepping in for a friend. He was on the Aspen Valley team.

While the act of playing polo was not controversial, the way Harry was introduced was, with the commentator introducing the duke as “Harry Wales”.

Sharing a video of the moment Harry was called “Harry Wales” online, fans have shown fury about the situation.

One person wrote: “He’s no longer Wales!!!”

Another said: “He was Wales before, but that was when he was the son of the then Prince of Wales. Time has moved on and he is supposed to be Sussex now, but looks like he is still stuck in the past.”

Someone else wrote: “He’s not Harry Wales, though. William and Catherine’s children are Wales. He’s not one of them.”

Another royal fan commented: “This can’t be real.”
