Woman ’on Prince Harry stalker watch-list’ arrested for trying to sneak into his Connecticut polo game TWICE
‧Wen Qi spotted near Conneticut polo grounds where Prince Harry was playing
‧Described as having an ’unhealthy attraction’ to the Royal who has advised to be watchful

A woman with an ‘unhealthy attraction’ to Prince Harry was arrested outside an exclusive charity polo match where he was playing.

Canadian Wen Qi, 26, was twice caught trying to gain entry to Greenwich Polo Club on Wednesday – the last day of Prince Harry’s successful US tour.

Qi, from Toronto, is on an ‘international watch-list’ of people protection officers keep an eye out for at his public events.

Local police spotted her near the polo grounds in Connecticut where the prince was playing in aid of his charity, Sentebale.

Despite being told that the event was invitation only, officers later found her walking round the perimeter of the club.

Qi was taken into custody and has now been charged with third-degree criminal trespass. She was offered bail but was unable to raise money for the $1,000 bond.

Police spokesman Kraig Gray said: ‘Prince Harry is a high-prominence figure. There are some people who have got an unhealthy attraction to him.’

A spokesman for Prince Harry conceded that they were aware of the incident but said: ‘We cannot comment on any matter of security.’

However, he described her as ’a person who wanted to see Prince Harry. Prince Harry is a high prominence figure. There are some people who have an unhealthy attraction to him’.

He added that ’international law enforcement agencies’ issued advisories ’to be watchful for her’.

Inside the event Prince Harry rounded up a successful overseas tour - with his team even winning 4-3.

The exclusive event was attended by dignitaries and celebrities including supermodel Stephanie Seymour and fashion designer Jason Wu.

To the envy of his female fans Harry exchanged a kiss with model Karolina Kurkova who presented with his trophy.

Harry was raising money for his children’s charity Sentebale by taking part in the event and security was especially tight for those attending.

Qi will appear at the state Superior Court in Stamford on May 22.

「Police: Canadian woman nabbed sneaking into Harry’s polo match」

Police said a Canadian woman was caught Wednesday trying to sneak into Prince Harry’s charity fundraiser at the Greenwich Polo Club.

Wen Qi, a 36-year-old from Toronto, was arrested when officers found her trespassing on private property near the Conyers Farms grounds.

Qi had been put on a watch list of potential trespassers at the request of a security agency, said police spokesman Lt. Kraig Gray.

Though it’s common for officers to have so-called "be on the lookout" lists for events like Wednesday’s, police did not elaborate on why Qi was on it.

The polo match drew an invitation-only crowd of about 400 people, including high-profile fashion industry and entertainment figures, as well as lucky Greenwich residents and a phalanx of reporters. The event raised more than $1 million for Harry’s charitable organization, Sentebale, which benefits children in the impoverished African country of Lesotho. It culminated the prince’s weeklong visit to the United States.

Security was so tight at the event that First Selectman Peter Tesei, who brought a Greenwich flag for Harry, could not deliver the gift in person.

"You couldn’t just go up to his table and say, ’Hey, how you doing?’ " Tesei said.

Tesei wound up giving the flag to an assistant of Peter Brant, the Greenwich Polo Club owner.

"I thought (Harry) would get a kick out of the seal," Tesei added, referring to the image of Gen. Israel Putnam fleeing from the British on horseback.

A message seeking comment from Brant was left with a spokeswoman for the organization.

Qi, who was charged with third-degree criminal trespassing, was held on $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appear May 22 in state Superior Court in Stamford.

  一名来自多伦多的华裔女子,15日因为想闯入英国哈里王子打马球的康州格林威治俱乐部(Greenwich Polo Club),遭警方逮捕。
  格林威治警局发言人葛雷说,文琦(Wen Qi,音译)起先在靠近马球的北街(North Street)步行时,被警方发现。警方警告她说,只有受邀请的贵宾才能前往该区。于是文琦乘计程车离开。
  但她离开不久,另一名警察又在该俱乐部的围篱看到她。警方于当天下午以三级非法侵入的罪名将她逮捕。
  葛雷说:「因为哈里王子为世界名人,许多人想一睹风采,该嫌就是这样的人。」他说,某「国际执法单位」曾发出通告「要注意她」。但葛雷拒绝透露该国际执法单位的名称。
  当天的马球比赛和午餐的主人为格林威治俱乐部创办人布兰特(Peter Brant)和他的超级模特儿妻子史蒂芬妮西摩(Stephanie Seymour),受邀请的都是当地和国际企业界、体育、时尚、艺术界名流,目的在为哈里王子的儿童慈善活动募款。华裔时装设计师吴季刚(Jason Wu)也受邀参加盛会。
  文琦的保释金为1000元,因为她缴不出保金,已被收押,预定5月22日在史坦福市出庭。
