Questions are being raised about Harry and Meghan’s future with Netflix following the release of Polo – and now an insider has delivered a tough verdict on the Duchess

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s latest Netflix show garnered less than favourable reviews from critics and viewers. Polo, a five-episode series, aimed to give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the ‘elite’ and ‘privileged’ sport.

But it was not well received, with many taking issue with the premise of the documentary itself, noting that the polo field is “the playground of the rich”.

In its review, the Telegraph branded the series “tedious”, while the Mail on Sunday dismissed it as a “load of old tosh”. The Guardian stated that “Polo looks destined to fall through the submenus into obscurity at the speed of light. And rightly so”.

Even The Cut, a magazine once favoured by Meghan, turned against the Duchess with a scathing review in an article titled ‘Harry and Meghan’s Projects Can’t Stop Flopping’. Writer Danielle Cohen commented on the couple’s “tortured attempts to launch a successful Stateside endeavour” which, she wrote, “continued this week” with the release of Polo. “Seems like this one is bound for the same fate as Markle’s beleaguered jam company,” she wrote.

The backlash has prompted questions about the couple’s next Netflix project. For almost a year there have been rumours that Meghan is making her own show celebrating ‘the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship’.
