London, March 4 (IANS) Prince Harry’s visit to Dubai for a fund-raising polo match has been cancelled following the prevailing turmoil in the Middle East region, a media report said.

“Prince Harry was very much looking forward to the visit, but feels that it would be insensitive for him to participate in a sporting event at a time when there are matters of greater priority to focus on in the region,” The Mirror quoted a St. James’s Palace spokesman as saying Friday.

Harry was due to take part in the Sentebale Cup - a competition in aid of his Africa based charity - later this month.
