A woman described as having an 'unhealthy attraction' to Prince Harry was arrested trying to creep in to his Connecticut polo match yesterday.

Wen Qi, 26, from Toronto, is allegedly known to security services for her interest in the royal and is on 'an inteational watch-list' of individuals agents keep an eye out for at his public events, an officer told Patch Greenwich yesterday.

Local police first spotted her walking along North Street near the polo grounds where Prince Harry was completing his week-long American tour.

They waed her that the event was 'invitation only' and she wouldn't be allowed in.

According to the website she then left the site in a taxi but was later found again near the perimeter of the club at Conyers Farm in Greenwich.

It was then - around 2pm - that she was taken into custody.

The Canadian has now been charged with third-degree criminal trespass.

She remains in jail as she could not post her $1,000 bond.

It is unclear whether she traveled from Canada purely for the Prince's visit or why she was on the watch-list in the first place.

'I can't comment on why she was on the watch list. It is not my jurisdiction,' Greenwich Police spokesman Lt. Kraig Gray told the website.

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 'inteational 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.
