The charity says that despite great progress made worldwide in combatting the AIDS epidemic, HIV remains one of the leading causes of death for adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa, where three out of four new HIV infections among 15–19-year-olds are among young women. Stigma is a major factor preventing youth from knowing their HIV status and accessing lifesaving treatment and care.

Harry andPrince Williamused to play several charity matches each summer — sometimes on the same side or often on opposing teams. But the royal brothers have scaled back their polo-playing this summer because of family commitments. “They will both play polo in support of their charities, but work and family responsibilities mean that they can’t commit to as many polo matches as they used to,” a palace source told PEOPLE last month.
