Figueras has maintained a close bond with Prince Harry stretching back to 2007.
The two men have competed both as teammates and opponents in charity polo fixtures over more than a decade.
Their friendship was highlighted when Nacho appeared among a select group of close associates in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s 2022 Netflix documentary.
He shared an intimate memory of Harry announcing his new romance: “He looked at us and said: ‘Guys, I met a girl, we’ve just met but I think this might be the one.'”
Delfina recently featured on Meghan’s Netflix cooking programme With Love, Meghan, joining the Duchess to prepare homemade focaccia.

Despite their strong ties to the Sussexes, Nacho and Delfina reportedly enjoy a friendly relationship with the Tindalls.
Zara and Mike have avoided public comment on Harry’s estrangement from the Royal Family, though their own relationship with the Sussexes appears to have cooled.
Princess Eugenie is understood to be the sole royal cousin who has stayed close to Harry, while the Tindalls are believed to maintain warmer relations with William and Kate.
The Tindalls are serving as ambassadors for the Magic Millions event for the third consecutive year, continuing their deep connection with Australia.
