The Royal Couple felt right at home during their California visit Saturday as Prince William hit the polo fields in Santa Barbara.William led his Royal Salute polo team to victory at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club while his wife, Kate, cheered him on, according to RadarOnline.com.
Before the match, William addressed the eager crowd, telling them what an honor it was to be celebrating the California polo club's 100th anniversary.
"I was so delighted when Ambassador [Glen] Holden asked me to play polo here ... My father, The Prince of Wales, and my brother, Harry, were as green as that grass out there when I told them I'd be here."
William went on to score four goals during the match, leading his team to a 5-2 victory. The event, in which the players shelled out $100,000 each to play, raised $4 million for the royals' foundation.
"Catherine and I have had a busy few days -- so the prospect of being able to let loose this afternoon is wonderful for me," William continued in his speech. "But that's what sport is all about -- be it polo or football -- more specifically how sport helps young people to find purpose in life -- is a key element to the [American Friends of the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry] that Catherine, Harry and I have established."

BEST QUALITY GUARANTEE!!
I love Kate's simple style. Her clothes look so nice on her. Nothing fussy. Even her wedding gown was simple. Just lovely! She seems very down to earth.

LORD, she is getting so very thin just like Princess Diana
did :( I hope this does not have a tragic ending.
Kate SHOULD GET RID OF HER DESIGNER!!!!! And URGENTLY!!!!
That designer should work for THE RED CROSS, seeing that she has an eye on tragic designs......the dress in the picture makes her look like she's about to be snatched from heaven!!!! Most her "outfits are"
These media people just don't pay attention. Per the Royal Family and the Duchess herself, it was requested that once the wedding took place, her name is Catherine.
Stop calling her Kate! It's not her name she asked to be called. Even William doesn't address her by Kate.
Sheesh.

What the heck difference does it make, in the scheme of things.Why should Americans care?Huh,Huh!
Totally /absolutely agree but likely will NOT stop anytime soon!! Seems tis their 'badge of honor' to flaunt their form of direspect (and YES , it remains DISRESPECTFUL to ignor THEIR requests in the simple manner but for sure this couple will surmount the rudeness going forth!!)
!00% correct, the request was to call her Catherine and out of respect one would call her Catherine.
it shows respect to call her by her given name just as you want to be called by your correct name
Ah yes Polo. Now there's a game everyone can identify with. Ha ha.

2-2 dear, nobody has ever disagreed with you as much as am about to.
Her size-thats her "PROBLEM" like the rest of them
Her looks(in terms of dress code an'all)-She's especially MISERABLE
Her beauty--Well she is VERY PLAIN, Not ANYWHERE/ANYHOW Exceptional
The Couple-just as any other with a balding hubby 'n a greyin' Hon
Prince William really is quite the stud. He scored 4 goals! That's quite respectable and he flies helicopters. He's a man's man. And what a beautiful bride. The guy does have it all.

And what are you?? An onion-shape-sycophant???
Why do you accolade them that Falsely??
Am i the only one who sees them as plain and normal as air and ground??
Ohhhhh lets all put our hands up and yell "yeepppee skippy" Kate wears "another" dress that her poor poverty Country paid for!!! – Oh but we forgot that they also just paid for her lavish wedding and the only reason she came to the USA was to show off her “40 dress changes” (gee I wonder how many people she could have donated the BIG bucks to and fed tons of people in her Country - Instead she came to show us poor little old Americans that are out of jobs, living in tent cities and lost everything how gallant they are at the Polo Matches.!!
