Meghan Markle is learning how to play polo.
The ‘Suits’ actress is desperate to fit into the royal family now that she’s dating down-to-earth prince Harry, so has enlisted the help of former England polo player Malcolm Borwick to teach her how to master horseback sport.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Malcolm said: "I met Meghan the other day for the first time – she’s a really, really nice person. She’s not a polo player, but she’s very keen to learn and I’ve offered to teach her."
However, the sportsman is concerned that her desire to learn how to play polo could damage her acting career because it’s quite dangerous and bosses won’t be happy.
He explained: "Contractually some actors are not allowed to play. A bad day at work can result in a serious injury. It’s a very dangerous sport."
The 35-year-old actress’ desire to learn how to play the sport comes just weeks after it was revealed Harry, 32, is planning to pop the question to her later this year using emeralds from his late mother Princess Diana’s tiara.
A source said: "Diana’s jewellery collection was left in trust for the boys and Meghan apparently loves emeralds. For Harry, like Wills before him, using his mother’s gems means the two loves of his life will forever be linked."
Harry is reportedly working on "something incredible" with jewellers, so that he can give Meghan, 35, "the same sentiment" that his brother Prince William had when he proposed to his now-wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, using Princess Diana’s engagement ring.
The source added" "After Diana died, the boys both chose a keepsake from Kensington Palace when they moved to Charles’ rooms in St James’s Palace. Prince William picked his mum’s Cartier watch, and Harry picked her sapphire and diamond engagement ring.
"But they had an agreement that whoever got engaged first would have Diana’s ring – and of course that was William and Kate. Harry wants the same sentiment when he proposes to Meghan, so he is working with the jewellers to design something incredible."
