Although Peachy Deegan herself was not present due to a previous engagement, she knows this information is especially reliable as the source is a Farmington graduate! Whom You Know hopes Prince Harry forgives our absence and perhaps we can meet him for tea or a pint in London next week...better yet, for some Veuve Clicquot!

Anecdotes:
Madonna, with children Rocco and David and strapping boy-toy Jesus Luz in tow, chatting up pal Marc Jacobs (in three-inch chunky black heels) and cheering for Britain’s prodigal Prince Harry at the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon.

Prince Harry mugging for the paparazzi with rap-legend LL Cool J before suiting up to lead the Sentabale team to victory at Saturday’s Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic. No word on whether the prince listened to “Mama Said Knock You Out” to psyche himself up for the match.

Prince Harry has his mother’s way with kids, pausing his conversations with VIPs to lean down to play with the youngest guests at the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic.

Prince Harry’s remarks about Sentebale, the charity he formed in honor of his mother’s legacy with Prince Seeiso, the prince of Lesotho, South Africa. “Prince Seeiso and I both lost our mothers when we were young. We set up Sentebale in their memory and, because my Mother loved this city, it makes this occasion all the more poignant for me.”

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
