“Polo” is the title and theme of the documentary series produced by Harry and Meghan for Netflix, on this very chic equestrian sport, popular with the royal family.
It is the favorite playground of the royal family. Harry and Meghan take on polo, Charles and William’s favorite game, in a documentary they are producing for Netflix, broadcast on December 10.
This 5-episode documentary series aims to tell the story behind the scenes of this sport. “Through fierce rivalries and intense training, viewers will get an unprecedented insight into the dedication and skills needed to compete at the highest level of the sport,” promises Netflix.
Sport royal par excellence
The trailer for the series, unveiled at the end of last week, follows several competitors on the field, but also in their personal lives, with their families and during training. For example, we meet Nacho Figueras, famous Argentinian player, great friend of Prince Harry.
Failed retraining, isolation, unpopularity… Prince Harry facing a midlife crisis?
Presented as “executive producers”, Harry and Meghan do not appear on screen. At least not in the trailer.
This is the Sussexes’ fourth production for Netflix, after the documentary series about their life, Harry & MeghanThen Lives to Lead: Leaders at Hearton “outstanding leaders, and finally a documentary on the Invictus Games in 2023.
Only their first production attracted viewers, appearing among the most viewed content on the platform. The other content, less personal, excited the crowds much less and did not reach the top 10 in any country.
Polo is the sport of the royal family par excellence. Prince Philip practiced it, as did King Charles and his sons. It was at a polo match, it is said, that Charles met Camilla in 1971.
