Hair-raising: Polo-playing princes look windswept after charity match

Princes William and Harry looked like they needed to call their Royal hair-stylists after a game of polo.

Dressed in black shirts, the Royal brothers looked more than a little bit windswept after battling the blustery weather to take part in the charity match yesterday.

Harry's ginger locks looked frizzy while William's hair seemed to be sticking on end.

The windy day  was also sure to ruin the hairstyles of fashion-conscious girls Kate Middleton and Chelsy Davy.

But the pair threw caution to the wind and proved themselves to be their boyfriends' biggest fans, facing the gales on the polo field to watch them play.

Laughing together as the unpredictable British weather whipped around them, the two girls looked happy and relaxed on the Gloucestershire green.

Cheering on William and Harry as they competed in their favourite sport, they were a lively audience, chatting but keeping their eye on the game.

At one climatic point Kate, 26, even raised her arms in the air - presumably to celebrate a sporting triumph of William's - before getting back to a good old gossip with 22-year-old Chelsy.

Both wearing skinny jeans - the close-fitting fashion of the moment - they two looked well-groomed and healthy, despite the relentless wind.

Decked out in full polo-playing regalia, the Princes were involved in the match  at Beaufort Polo Club to raise funds for the Tusk Charity.

The UK-based cause, which promotes the conservation of wildlife and education across Africa, is sure to receive a sizeable donation after the lively match.

And even though they celebrated William's 26th birthday the night before the pair showed no signs of being worse for wear.
