'Duchess Perfect?': Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Called 'Amazing' to Work With on Netflix Series 'POLO'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to "hopefully" captivate audiences again this time with their latest Netflix docuseries POLO. This five-episode series offers an intimate glimpse into the 2024 U.S. Open Polo Championship, aiming to dismantle the age-old perception of polo as an exclusive pastime for the elite.

The pair won raves from the program's showrunner Miloš Balać, who told an outlet, "It was just easy to constantly have conversations with them about what we’re showing and how we’re showing it."

Harry's lifelong passion for polo is evident throughout the series. Balać noted, "He was really a driving force in trying to tell these stories."

Meghan, initially an outsider to the sport, has become "a huge fan," immersing herself fully and bringing a fresh perspective to the narrative.

The series reportedly reaches an emotional crescendo in its final episode, featuring footage from the Sentebale Polo Challenge held in Wellington, Fla. Here, Meghan is seen cheering on Harry as the episode captures a tender moment when the former actress presents her Duke with a trophy, followed by a heartfelt kiss — a scene that has set social media abuzz.

The documentary doesn't just focus on the glamour; it delves into the dedication and sacrifices of top players like Nadolfo Cambiaso. The series also highlights the Duchess's linguistic prowess, showcasing her conversing fluently in Spanish with Cambiaso — a skill she honed during her time in Argentina.

The docuseries aims to broaden polo's appeal, challenging stereotypes and presenting it as a sport of grit and community. Balać emphasized, "We wanted to show that polo is not just about champagne and socializing; it’s a sport that requires immense dedication."

This project is part of the Sussexes' multi-year deal with Netflix, which is slated to expire next fall, following their record-breaking first docuseries, Harry & Meghan.

Their production company, Archewell Productions, continues to create content that "resonates with global audiences."

Looking ahead, Meghan is set to star in another Netflix series focusing on cooking, gardening and entertaining, rumored to drop in early 2025. Fans eagerly anticipate more insights into the couple's dynamic and their ongoing efforts to connect with diverse audiences, which led one Hollywood insider to share, "Regardless of whether you like them or not, people tune into these shows."

POLO is now streaming on Netflix, inviting viewers to explore the sport's intricacies and the stories of those who live it.

One user review on Rotten Tomatoes said of the show, "In POLO, Harry and Meghan have not only showcased their storytelling prowess but also their commitment to breaking down barriers and fostering understanding — a true testament to their evolving legacy."
