Zara and Mike Tindall were seen socializing with Harry’s close friends, Nacho and Delfina Fugueres, during a showjumping event in Australia.
Zara, who is the first cousin of the princes, has been attending the Magic Millions event on the Gold Coast for several years now, starting from her first appearance in 2013.
Despite the media frenzy surrounding Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir, the Tindalls appeared to be in good spirits as they engaged in friendly conversations with Nacho and Delfina.
While it is known that they are paid ambassadors for Magic Millions, it seems that their friendship extends beyond their professional relationship.
In fact, the Tindalls even did an article with Vogue in November, where they mentioned their friendship with Nacho and Delfina, and the warm bond they share.
Zara, being incredibly close to the Waleses as Princess Anne’s daughter, might have taken the opportunity to have a private conversation with Nacho and Mrs. Nacho about the people they associate with.
Zara is known for her straightforward approach, which she may have inherited from her mother.
Now, you might be wondering who Delfina and Nacho are.
Well, Nacho, whose full name is Ignacio Figueres Bermejo, is an Argentine polo player and model.
He is professionally known as Nacho Figueres and has been friends with Prince Harry for several years, as both share a passion for polo.
In 2004, Nacho married Argentine socialite Delfina Blackwear, and they have been blessed with four children.
Interestingly, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s wife, has come up with a nickname for Nacho and Delfina.
She refers to them as “Pwives,” which stands for polo wives.
It seems that Meghan is trying to create a polo equivalent of a “wag” (wife or girlfriend of a male sportsperson).
Rumors suggest that Meghan may have said something that offended Nacho’s wife, and Harry’s recent comments about losing close friends seem to be referencing them.
It appears that Nacho was Harry’s last remaining close friend.
There have been photos and footage circulating where Meghan appears quite friendly with Nacho.
In some instances, she is even seen touching his face.
It is unclear how Delfina feels about another woman, regardless of their friendship, being physically affectionate with her husband.
During an interview in the first episode of Harry and Meghan’s docuseries, Nacho described Meghan as incredible and praised her for sacrificing everything for the man she loves.
He also shared an anecdote about having dinner with Prince Harry shortly after he met Meghan in 2017, discussing their romantic trip to Botswana and the potential outcome of their relationship.
Nacho’s loyalty to his friends is evident.
In a 2019 appearance on The Ellen Show, he expressed his willingness to defend his friends, including Harry, with his life.
That same year, Nacho, whose personal wealth is estimated to be around $30 million, released a selection of six fragrances, one of which was named Windsor, hinting at a sense of brotherhood with the Duke.
It is speculated that Nacho may have been covering Harry’s polo expenses, as Harry is known for being frugal and not accustomed to paying his own way.
Perhaps Delfina reached her limit with this situation, leading to the strain in their friendship.
