Watch first look of Meghan and Harry’s new Netflix series
By Summer Raemason
THE first look at Harry and Meghan’s new Netflix series about the “glamorous” world of polo has been revealed.
A highly anticipated trailer for the documentary produced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was released on X by Netflix.
It was captioned: “Polo, a behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced and glamorous world of the sport, is coming to Netflix on December 10.
“Follow elite global players on and off the field as they compete in the high-stakes U.S. Open Polo Championship.
“From executive producers Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”
Harry said in a statement the series offers viewers an “unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into the passion and determination” driving some of the world’s top polo players, “revealing the grit behind the glamour”.
He added: “We’re proud to showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport – and the intensity of its high-stakes moments.”
The trailer suggests the athletes that appearing in the docuseries include Adolfo Cambiaso, Poroto Cambiaso, Louis Devaleix, Timmy Dutta, Keko Magrini and Nacho Figueras.
The series has been produced by the Sussexes’ Archewell Productions as part of their reported multimillion-pound deal with Netflix.
The couple have already released three series, Heart Of Invictus, Live To Lead and Harry & Meghan.
The Harry & Meghan documentary aired on Netflix in December 2022 to mixed reviews.
While some fans enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at their lives, many took issue with their criticism of the royal family.
The docuseries was Netflix’s most-watched show in the UK in 2022 but currently has a 43 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes
Fans appear to be divided over the Polo trailer ahead of the show’s release next month.
One penned: “Never thought I’d be excited to see a polo documentary.”
“I’ve never had interest in polo until now, I’ll try every effort to watch this,” wrote another.
“I’m so excited,” shared a third.
But someone else added: “I made it though 40 seconds of the trailer and got bored. No thanks.”
“Hard pass! Anything with the word Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is immediately tossed int the trash compactor!”, agrees a second.
Another said: “It’s cheap reality rubbish that no one cares about, especially when people are facing such hardships.”
“Was the flash of cars designed to let the viewers know just how rich everyone is? I mean, it’s not car polo is it?,” agreed someone.
This comes as rumours swirled that Harry and Meghan were living separate lives.
The duke was seem beaming on a solo trip to Africa in October.
The Duchess of Sussex has previously accompanied him to the continent, including in May this year.
But this, the most recent in a series of solo trips for Harry, has sparked fears the couple, who have been married for six years, are drifting apart.
It has even prompted a source close to Harry and Meghan to address the speculation.
The Sussexes’ confidante insisted: “It is normal for couples to not do everything together.”
But while it is understood that the Duke and Duchess’s work lives will be separated, insiders told The Sun rumours the couple are also spending more and more of their down time apart.
Harry was barely been at home in Montecito for nearly a month and was without Meghan in New York, London and Lesotho.
It then emerged that Harry even spent the night of his 40th birthday on a hiking holiday without his wife, although sources close to the couple insist it was Meghan who organised the lads’ trip.
Meghan has also reportedly been frustrated with Harry’s legal cases, which are still dragging on through the courts in London.
Just last month the duke appeared in a solo project to promote his Invictus Games as he arrived alone in Vancouver, Canada.
He enacted a role play with a famous American rapper and let him ‘tattoo’ his neck in the jaw-dropping video.
Harry grimaced as he sat in a chair while Jelly Roll looked deep in thought posed with an ink gun.
The pair performed the entertaining skit to promote Harry’s Invictus Games at East Side Ink, in New York City.
The dad-of-two got a fake tattoo which read “I am Jelly Roll” on the side of his neck for the hilarious promo.
He made his second appearance in Vancouver the same week to the Invictus Games school programme.
The previous day he gave a thumbs up to Canadian football fans as he made another public outing without wife Meghan Markle.
Some commentators saw this as the prince doing a “full relaunch” of his charity work.
Sources in California say the new “solo Harry” is his own idea.
They were Community Wellbeing, Uplifting Women and Girls, Investing in Information Integrity and Collaborating for Impact.
“Our work at The Archewell Foundation is underpinned by the core belief that mental health and our collective wellbeing are paramount,” the report added.
The charity’s US tax return for 2023 was also been published, and showed income has reached $5.7million (£4.5million) last year.
A mystery benefactor donated $5million (£4million) and five other people donated $335,000 (£264,500).
Archewell Foundation’s co-executive directors James Holt and Shauna Nep said: “This year, at The Archewell Foundation, we’ve witnessed the transformative power of human connection — of people reaching across divides to uplift one another. Our purpose is simple yet impactful: to show up, do good.
“To drive positive change, rally for communities in need, and nurture spaces where everyone is seen, valued, and supported. In 2024, we were honored to work alongside communities, families, and individuals who, despite facing tremendous hardship, are redefining what’s possible.”
