Prince William showed off his polo skills in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Saturday afternoon, scoring four goals to help his team win the charity match. Kate presented her husband with a 15-pound trophy at a ceremony after the match, prompting Will to kiss his wife on both cheeks, much to the crowd's delight. VIP tickets to join the royal couple for a fancy sit-down lunch that afternoon were a whopping $4,000, and spectators paid $400 for a boxed lunch across the field from the VIP area.
