Prince Harry and Meghan Markle under pressure as they show true colours over ‘new royal expose’
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s self-titled docuseries Harry and Meghan was released on Netflix back in December 2022 and was the latest in a long-line of statements made by the couple following their departure from royal life. At the time, it was revealed that the streaming giant had struck an £80 million deal with the pair and that the public could soon expect more shows.
The show, which is titled POLO, was first teased in April when it was announced that Harry and Meghan have two nonfiction series’ in production with Netflix, with the other focusing on Meghan’s love of “cooking, gardening and friendship”.
With the release date just weeks away, a leading royal expert has said the couple could be in for a success, but that a series which is more closely linked to their royal connections may be what Netflix bosses would have pushed for.
“I don’t think either of these will be blockbusters, but lifestyle programmes generally appeal to a broad range of people and Meghan may well have some interesting tips on cooking and stuff around the home,” former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively told OK! Addressing any pressure the couple might be under to deliver the goods, she continued: “It’s a fiercely competitive field, so it’s going to have to be good to pull the viewing figures in.
“Polo is far more niche, but on the other hand, think how successful Jilly Cooper has been writing about the polo crowd, so it could be intriguing. People do love to peek into rich people’s lives.”
