The aristocratic Guards Polo Club hosts the most prestigious blue-blood event on the British polo calendar, The Queens Cup. Watched by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, alongside a gilt-edge list of distinguished guests and polished crowd of polo aficionados, there is no other polo tournament in the world that holds such cachet.

Arnaud M. Bamberger, Executive Chairman Cartier Ltd, and Laurent Feniou, Managing Director Cartier Ltd, were uniquely acknowledged before the match started with the Band of the Grenadier Guards parading on the field into the shape of the figure 30 to celebrate Cartier's three decades of
sponsorship of polo at Guards Polo Club.

The summit of the day was the exhilarating play for the Queen’s Cup between Zacara and Talandracas. An impressive performance over the highly regarded Talandracas ensured that Zacara patron Lyndon Lea stepped forward to receive the trophy from HM The Queen. In fact
Zacara had an easier time than even they thought possible, winning the game 10-7, and were so dominant in
the first half of the match that they were 6-2 up at half-time.
‘The King of Jewellers’, Cartier, celebrated a long-standing tradition of supporting polo over 30 years, the true
‘Sport of Kings’ the world over. Cartier UK is delighted to continue its involvement in the prestigious highgoal
Queen’s Cup tournament.
The tournament itself began on Tuesday 20th May, commencing three weeks of electrifying high-goal polo.
This world-leading tournament concluded yesterday, Sunday 15th June, with the historic final played in the
presence of HM The Queen. With 15 teams entering this most prestigious of tournaments, all expectations
were exceeded.
To mirror the impressive talent on the field, Cartier invited guests from the worlds of stage, screen, sport,
society, and literature into the Cartier enclosure, welcoming them to the elegant reception, serving Cartier
champagne and a lunch created by Mosimann’s.
