Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new Netflix project drops teaser hours after Princess Kate’s touching cancer update
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle’s teaser for their new Netflix project dropped just hours after Princess Kate’s touching cancer update.
POLO, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s latest project, was first advertised on Netflix’s X/Twitter yesterday as it’s set to follow players of the elite sport.
The first-look came shortly after Kensington Palace shared a heartfelt video of Prince William and Kate in Norfolk playing with their kids George, Charlotte and Louis.
In an emotional three-minute watch, the Princess of Wales voiced she had finished her chemotherapy journey and was “doing what I can to stay cancer free”.
Following a “complex, scary and unpredictable” last nine months, the mum-of-three said her family “had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown”.
It is not known if Harry and Meghan’s newest Netflix series push was timed around Kate’s video.
The streaming giant shared pictures from the upcoming series, promoting it for the first time.
Netflix said: “POLO is a new documentary series that follows elite global players and offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced world of the sport.
“From Archewell Productions and Boardwalk Pictures. Premiering this December.”
In Monday’s poignant clip, Kate said she is “looking forward to being back at work“.
She will appear at some engagements in the coming months including charity events that are close to her heart, it is understood.
She is also expected to support doting husband Wills in his public appearances, such as at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.
It comes after Kensington Palace revealed Kate has already started to work from home on some projects.
In the touching video, Kate also spoke of her relief as she lay her head on William’s shoulder.
The Waleses can be seen enjoying a picnic and playing games with the Middletons in the Norfolk-filmed clip.
Since her shock cancer diagnosis in March, Kate stepped out of the spotlight so she could fully recover.
She said she initially had no signs of cancer but post-op tests showed the disease had been “present”.
A palace spokesperson confirmed she started a course of preventative chemotherapy in late February.
It was also announced she would not be returning to public duties for the foreseeable future.
But as she began “making good progress”, the princess was strong enough to briefly return to public duties and stand with the rest of her family at Trooping the Colour in June.
And in July she was welcomed with a standing ovation at the men’s Wimbledon final, where she appeared with daughter Princess Charlotte.
It still remains unclear what type of cancer Kate was battling.
What is Harry and Meghan's new doc POLO?
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle’s new Netflix doc has been teased ahead of it airing in December.
Produced by their company Archewell Productions, alongside Boardwalk Pictures, POLO takes a peak inside the life of the elite.
Polo, which has for years been seen as a sport for the rich, involves players on horseback using a mallet to push a wooden ball across a field and into the goal post.
The new series will give the world access into the sport from behind-the-scenes, it is said.
Sharing the teaser on X/Twitter on Monday, Netflix said: “POLO is a new documentary series that follows elite global players and offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced world of the sport.
“From Archewell Productions and Boardwalk Pictures. Premiering this December.”
