ILLUMENE reached an extraordinary milestone this week, as we had the privilege of lighting an event fit for royalty – none other than Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex! This true ‘Prince of Hearts’ graced Wellington, Florida, with his presence to raise vital funds for his Sentebale charity, dedicated to supporting children with HIV/AIDS in Lesotho, Africa.

Our company had the distinct honor of providing lighting and sound services for the charity polo tournament and fundraising gala hosted at the exclusive Valiente Farms. The day was a dream come true, from multiple calls with Buckingham Palace over the past few months in meticulous event preparations to the surreal moment when we finally met Prince Harry himself. What a day it was! The icing on the cake was the Prince’s kind words – he complimented the size of our video projector, declaring it the ‘biggest bloody projector’ he’d ever seen!

While we would love to share the evening photos from the fundraiser, due to the royal status of Prince Harry and the high-profile nature of the charity event’s attendees, we regret that none can be made public. It was truly a remarkable evening!
